along with the sunshine there's got to be a little rain sometimes
when you take you got to give so live and let live or let go ooo oooo
I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden.

I can't promise you things like big diamonds rings
but you don't find roses growing fields of clover so better think it
over
when if sweet talking you would make it come true
I'd 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 melancholic
come on 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 got to be a little rain sometimes

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 just too soon let you go
but there's one thing I want you to know
you better look before you leaps still water runs deep
and it won't always be someone there to put you out
and you know what I'm talkin' about
so smile for a while and let's be jolly love shouldn't be so melancholic
come on 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 got to be a little rain sometimes
