Rose Garden

Rose Garden - Glen Campbell (格倫·坎貝爾)

Written by：Joe South

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

I could promise you things like big diamond rings

But you don't find roses growing on stalks of clover

So you better think it over

When it's sweet talking you can 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

Along with the sunshine girl there's gotta be a little rain sometimes

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 girl 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 you pardon I never promised you a rose garden

Along with the sunshine girl there's gotta be a little rain sometimes

A little rain
