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

Well 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 that you should know



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' about

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

When you take you got to give

So live and let live or let go-oh-oh-oh-oh [fade]
