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 gotta give so live and let live and 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 growin´ on stalks of clover
So you´d better think it over
Well, if 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 gotta be a little rain sometimes
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´d 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 talking 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 sometimes.....

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