Rose Garden

I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden Along with the sunshine There's gonna be a little rain sometime When you take you gotta give So love and let live and let go 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 rose growin' On stalks of clover Well, you better think it over Well, if sweet talkin' you Could make it come true I would hand you the world right now On a silver platter But what would it matter So smile for a while And let's be jolly Life shouldn't be so melancholy Come and let's share the good times While we can I beg your pardon I never promise you a rose garden Well, I could sing you a tune Or 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 There won't always be someone there To pull you out That's just what I'm talkin' about I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden
