Rose Garden Lyrics

Song Text:

Chorus:

I beg your pardon, I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine, there's gotta be a little rain sometime
When you take you gotta give so live and let live or let go
I beg your pardon, I never promised you a rose garden

Verse:

I could promise you things like big diamond rings but you don't
find roses growing on stalks of clover, so you better think it over
If sweet talking you could make it come true,
I would give you world right now on a silver platter, but what would it matter
So smile for awhile and lets be jolly, love shouldnÕt be so melancholy,
come and lets share the good times while we can

Chorus:

I beg your pardon, I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine, there's gotta be a little rain sometime


Solo

I beg your pardon, I never promised you a rose garden

Modulated Verse:

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 talking about
So smile for awhile and lets be jolly, love shouldn't be so melancholy,
come and lets share the good times while we can

Chorus:

I beg your pardon, I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine, there's gotta be a little rain sometime
I beg your pardon, I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine, there's gotta be a little rain sometime

Repeat Chorus
