I Never Promised You A Rose Garden Lyrics

I Never Promised You A Rose Garden lyrics

I beg your pardon 
I never promised you a rose garden 
Along with the sunshine, there`s gotta be a little rain sometimes 
I could promise you things, 
Like big diamond rings 
But if that`s what it takes to hold you 
I`d as soon as let you go 
But there`s one thing I want you to know 
Oh, smile for a while and lets be jolly 
Love shouldn`t be so melancholy 
Come along, enjoy 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 sometimes 
I said, Oh oh oh oh, I beg your pardon 
I never promised you a rose garden
