Lyrics

[00:05.77] I beg your pardon
[00:09.35] I never promised you a rose garden
[00:13.23] Along with the sunshine
[00:16.61] There's gotta be a little rain some time
[00:21.11] When you take you gotta give so live and let live
[00:24.79] Or let go oh-whoa-whoa-whoa
[00:25.55]
[00:25.87] I beg your pardon
[00:29.36]
[00:30.88] I never promised you a rose garden
[00:35.59] I could promise you things like big diamond rings
[00:36.72]
[00:39.47] But you don't find roses growin' on stalks of clover
[00:41.09]
[00:45.35]
[00:45.57] So you better think it over
[00:46.47]
[00:49.87] Well if sweet-talkin' you could make it come true
[00:53.61] I would give you the world right now on a silver platter
[01:00.11] But what would it matter
[01:04.26] So smile for a while and let's be jolly
[01:08.71] Love shouldn't be so melancholy
[01:12.39] Come along and share the good times while we can
[01:18.17] I beg your pardon
[01:21.70] I never promised you a rose garden
[01:25.49] Along with the sunshine
[01:29.22] There's gotta be a little rain some time
[01:40.08] I beg your pardon
[01:43.62] I never promised you a rose garden
[01:48.22] I could sing you a tune and promise you the moon
[01:51.96] But if that's what it takes to hold you
[01:54.87] I'd just as soon let you go
[01:58.29] But there's one thing I want you to know
[02:02.18] You better look before you leap still waters run deep
[02:06.43] And there won't always be someone there to pull you out
[02:12.57] And you know what I'm talkin' about
[02:16.52] So smile for a while and let's be jolly
[02:21.22] Love shouldn't be so melancholy
[02:24.14] Come along and share the good times while we can
[02:31.04] I beg your pardon
[02:34.52] I never promised you a rose garden
[02:38.41] Along with the sunshine
[02:41.84] There's gotta be a little rain some time
