I beg your pardon,
I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine
there's gotta be a little rain some time
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
I could promise you things
like big diamond rings
But you don't find roses growin' on stalks of clover
So you better think it over
Well if sweet talkin' you could make it come true
I would 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 gotta be a little rain some time
I beg your pardon,
I never promised you a rose garden
I beg your pardon,
I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine
there's gotta be a little rain some time
