I beg you pardon I never promised you a rose garden
I beg you pardon I never promised you a rose garden
I would give you the world right now on a silver platter
Along with the sunshine girl there's gotta be a little rain sometimes
But there's one thing I want you to know
I could sing you a tune and promise you the moon
Come along and share the good times while we can
I beg you pardon I never promised you a rose garden
When you take you got to give so live and let live or let go
When it's sweet talking you could make it come true
And you know what I'm talking about
You better look before you leap still water runs deep
So smile for a while and let's be jolly love shouldn't be so melancholy
So you better think it over
Come along and share the good times while we can
So smile for a while and let's be jolly love shouldn't be so melancholy
I could promise you things like big diamond rings
And there won't always be someone there to pull you out
But what would it matter
But you don't find roses growin' on stalks of clover
But if that's what it takes to hold you I'd just as soon let you go
