Rose Garden

Rose Garden - Lynda Mayne

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 ohohoh

I beg your pardon

I never promised you a rose garden

I could promise you things

Like big diamond rings

But you won't find roses

Growing 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

Love shouldn't be so melancholy

Come along share the good times

While we can

I beg your pardon

I never promised you a rose garden

I beg your pardon

I never promised you a rose garden

I could sing you a tune

Promise you the moon

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 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

When you take you gotta give

So live and let live

Or let go ohohoh

I beg your pardon

I never promised you a rose garden
