Rose Garden Songtext

von Scooter Lee

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
I beg your pardon, I never promised you a rose garden

And 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

Well, if sweet talking you could make it come true
I would give you world right now on a silver platter
But what would it matter

So smile for awhile and let's be jolly
Love shouldn't be so melancholy
Come and let's 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
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 that's just what I'm talking about

So smile for awhile and let's be jolly
Love shouldn't be so melancholy
Come and let's share the good times while we can

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

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