Rosegarden

I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine
There's got to be a little rain sometime
And 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 growin' on the stalks of clover
And you better think it over
When sweet-talkin' you would make it come true
Then I'd 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 sometime

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 water runs 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 got to be a little rain sometime
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
