Rose Garden

Agnes Chan

Compositor: Joe South

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

If you take you gotta give so live
And let live or let go
Oh-whoa-whoa-whoa
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 sometime

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