(Repeat Last Verse)


I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine there's gotta be a little rain sometime
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'd 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 talking 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 sometime

I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine there's gotta be a little rain sometime
