Lynn Anderson Rose Garden Lyrics

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 some time
When you take you gotta
give so live and let live
Or let go oh-whoa-whoa-whoa
I beg your
pardon
I never promised you a rose 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 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 matter
So smile for a while and let's be jolly
Love
shouldn't be so melancholy
Come along 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 gotta be a little rain some time



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 you know
what I'm talkin' about
So smile for a while and let's be jolly
Love
shouldn't be so melancholy
Come along and share the good times while we
can

I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose
garden
FADE
Along with the sunshine
There's gotta be a little rain
some time
