Songtexte Rose Garden (Alternative Version) - Lynn Anderson

I beg your pardon, I never promised you, a rose garden
Along with the sunshine, there's gotta be a little rain sometime
When you take, you gotta give, so, live and let live or let go
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, 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 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, sometime
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
