ROSE GARDEN

(LYNN ANDERSON)

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

whoa..whoa..whoa.whoaa..

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 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 talkin' 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 some time

I beg your pardon

I never promised you a rose garden

Along with the sunshine

THANK YOU
