Rose Garden - Lynn Anderson

I beg your pardon 
I never promised you a rose garden 
Along with the sunshine 
There´s gotta be a little rain some time 

When you take you gotta give so live and let live 
Or let go oh whoa whoa whoa 
I beg your pardon 
I never promised you a rose garden 

I could promise you things like big diamond rings 
But you don´t find roses growin´ on stalks of clover 
So you better think it over 

Well if sweet talkin´ you could make it come true 
I give you the world right now on a silver platter 
But what would it matter 

So smile for a while and let´s be jolly 
Love shouldn´t be so melancholy 
Come along and share 
The good times while we can 

I beg your pardon 
I never promised you a rose garden 
Along with the sunshine 
There´s gotta be a little rain some time 

I beg your pardon 
I never promised you a rose garden 

I could sing you a tune 
And promise you the moon 
But if that´s what it takes to hold you 
I´d just as soon let you go 
But there´s one thing I want you to know 

You better look before you leap, 
Still waters run deep 
And there won´t always be someone 
There to pull you out 
And you know what I´m talkin´ about 

So smile for a while and let´s be jolly 
Love shouldn´t be so melancholy 
Come along and share 
The good times while we can 

I beg your pardon 
I never promised you a rose garden 
Along with the sunshine 
There´s gotta be a little rain some time 
I beg your pardon...
