Rose Garden Lyrics

Rose Garden lyrics

You never promised me a Rose Garden

     You never said it would be easy

     You never promised me a leisure lifetime

     You only said you'd never leave me



     Well I never took the time to realize

     How much I needed love in order to survive

     I was so spoiled a princess in my time

     And your love was so deep

     And mine so blind



     You never promised me a ring made out of diamonds

     A band of gold you said was all you could buy

     You never said I'd be a rich man's lady

     And oh my darling no, you never lied



     Well I never took the time to realize

     How much I needed love in order to survive

     I was so spoiled a princess in my time

     And your love was so deep

     And mine so blind



     And now you're gone and I'm alone, and I'm so lonely

     Nothing seems to be the same

     One day I turned around and you no longer loved me

     In my life there's been a big change



     Now I've a big house

     With pillars standing tall all around

     Yeah, and I've got a garden

     And it's got roses dangling down to the ground

     Yes, and I've got money

     Men to love me and acres of land

     Well, I've got all these things 

     All these things but a small gold band

     On my finger on my left hand

     Oh no you never promised 

     You never promised me a Rose Garden
