I Never Promised You a Rose Garden Lyrics

I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine, there's gotta be a little rain sometimes
When you take you got to give,so live and let live,or let go oh oh oh oh 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 growing on stalkes of clover,
So you better think it over,
When it's sweet talking you could make it come true,
I would 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 got to be a little rain some time (instrummental)
I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden

I could sing you a tone, 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 talking about
So, smile for a while and lets 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 sometimes
I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden
