I beg your pardon

I never promised you a ro-ose garden

Along with the sunshine

There's got to be a little rai-ain sometime

When you take you got to give

So live and let live or let go-oh-oh-oh-oh

I beg your parden

I never promised you a ro-ose garden



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 o-over

And if sweet talkin' you could make it come true

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

But what would it ma-atter

So smile for a while and let's be jolly

Love shouldn't be so meloncholy

Come along and share the good times while we ca-a-a-an



I beg your pardon

I never promised you a ro-ose garden

Along with the sunshine

There's got to be a little rai-ain sometime



I beg your pardon

I never promised you a ro-ose 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-ow-ow



You'd 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 talkin' abou-ou-out

So-oh smile for a while and let's be jolly

Love shouldn't be so meloncholy

Come along and share the good times while we ca-a-a-an



I beg your pardon

I never promised you a ro-ose garden

Along with the sunshine

There's got to be a little rai-ain sometime

I beg your pardon

I never promised you a ro-ose garden [fade]
