Song by Lynn Anderson<br /><br>

I beg your pardon,<br>

I never promised you a rose garden.<br>

Along with the sunshine, <br>

There's gotta be a little rain sometimes.<br>

When you take, you gotta give, so live and let live, <br>

Or let go.<br>

I beg your pardon,<br>

I never promised you a rose garden.<br>

<br>

I could promise you things like big diamond rings,<br>

But you don't find roses growin' on stalks of clover.<br>

So you better think it over.<br>

Well, if sweet-talkin' you could make it come true,<br>

I would give you the world right now on a silver platter,<br>

But what would it matter?<br>

So smile for a while and let's be jolly:<br>

Love shouldn't be so melancholy.<br>

Come along and share the good times while we can.<br>

<br>

I beg your pardon,<br>

I never promised you a rose garden.<br>

Along with the sunshine, <br>

There's gotta be a little rain sometimes.<br>

<br>

Instrumental break.<br>

<br>

I beg your pardon,<br>

I never promised you a rose garden.<br>

<br>

I could sing you a tune or promise you the moon,<br>

But if that's what it takes to hold you,<br>

I'd just as soon let you go, but there's one thing I want you to know.<br>

You better look before you leap, still waters run deep,<br>

And there won't always be someone there to pull you out,<br>

And you know what I'm talkin' about.<br>

So smile for a while and let's be jolly:<br>

Love shouldn't be so melancholy.<br>

Come along and share the good times while we can.<br>

<br>

I beg your pardon,<br>

I never promised you a rose garden.<br>

Along with the sunshine, <br>

There's gotta be a little rain sometimes.<br>

<br>

To fade.<br>

<br>
