Rose Garden — текст песни (Lynn Anderson)

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
Along with the sunshine
There`s gotta be a little rain some time
