Rose Garden (Rerecorded)

Rose Garden (Original Artist Re-recording) - Lynn Anderson

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 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

Ooohhh

So you better think it over

Ooohhh

When if sweet-talkin' you could make it come true

I would give you the world right now on a silver platter

Ooohhh

But what would it matter

Ooohhh

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

Ooohhh

But there's one thing I want you to know

Ooohhh

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

Ooohhh

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
