I beg you pardon I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine there's gotta be a little rain sometimes
When you take you gotta give so live and let live or let go
I beg you 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'd better think it over
When it's sweet talking 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 you pardon I never promised you a rose garden
[ steel ]
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 water runs 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...

You never promised me a rose garden
You never said it would be easy
You never promised me a leisure lifetime
You only said you'd never leave me
Well, I never took the time to realize
How much I needed love in order to survive
I was so spoiled, a princess in my time
And your love was so deep and mine so blind
You never promised me a ring made out of diamonds
A band of gold you said was all you could buy
You never said I'd be a rich man's lady
And oh my darling no, you never lied
Well, I never took the time to realize
How much I needed love in order to survive
But I was so spoiled, a princess in my time
And your love was so deep and mine so blind
And now you're gone and I'm alone and I'm so lonely
Nothing seems to be the same
One day I turned around and you no longer loved me
In my life there's been a big change
Now I've a big house
With pillars standing tall all around
Yeah, and I've got a garden
And it's got roses dangling down to the ground
Yes, and I've got money, men to love me and acres of land
Well, I've got all these things, all these things but a small gold band
On my finger on my left hand, on my finger on my left hand
No, no, you never promised, you never promised me a rose garden
I beg you pardon I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine there's gotta be a little rain sometimes
When you take you got to give, so live and let live or let go
I beg you pardon I never promised you a rose garden
Well, 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 talking 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

Along with the sunshine there's gotta be a little rain sometimes
I beg you pardon I never promised you a rose garden
Oh, 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

On a silver platter

I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine
There's goin' to be a little rain sometime
Do you know what I'd like to do right now
I'd like to lay right down girl
And put my arms around you
Wonder where will I be let's say six years from now
I wish that I could still be with you
Now if I had it in my hand control your every move
Now here is exactly what I'd do
Chorus
I'd put you in the middle of my rose garden
And I would never never have to say pardon
To the daises the tulips the buttercups
Not even the roses and I'd water you first every
Morning the other flowers would have to start
Calling give me some water please
We too need to grow
Wonder where will I be
Let's say ten years down the road
Search my heart and constantly you're there
Can't get you out of my system and I like this living
It's so wonderful that you and I can share
Chorus (repeat)
Time will change us never
Nature's gonna keep us together
Time will change us forever
Know our love will last so I shouldn't even ask
Where will I be, will you be there with me
Can't get you out of my system and I like this living
I've searched my heart, it always sets me free
Time will change us never
Nature's gonna keep us together
Time will change us never
Nature's gonna keep us forever
I beg your pardon I never
promised you a rose garden
along with the sunshine
there's gotta be a little rain sometime.
When you take you gotta give so live and
let live and let go oh oh oh oh oh oh
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 fields of clover
so you better think it over.
When it's sweet talking you
would 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
