Rose Garden
I beg you pardon, I never promised you a rose gardenAlong with the sunshine, there's gotta be a little rain sometimesWhen you take you got to give, so live and let live or let goI beg you pardon, I never promised you a rose gardenI could promise you things like big diamond ringsBut you don't find roses growing on stalks of cloverSo you better think it overWhen it's sweet talking you could make it come trueI would give you the world right now on a silver platterBut what would it matterSo smile for a while and let's be jollyLove shouldn't be so melancholyCome along and share the good times while we canI beg you pardon, I never promised you a rose gardenAlong with the sunshine, there's gotta be a little rain sometimesI beg you pardon, I never promised you a rose gardenI could sing you a tune and promise you the moonBut if that's what it takes to hold you, I'd just as soon let you goBut there's one thing I want you to knowLook before you leap, still waters run deepAnd there won't always be someone there to pull you outAnd you know what I'm talking aboutSo smile for a whileI beg you pardon, I never promised you a rose garden
