Rose Garden Lyrics - Kitty Wells

I beg you pardon I never promised you a rose garden 

Along with the sunshine there's got to be a little rain sometimes 

When you take you got to give so live and let live or let go 

I beg you 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 it's sweet talking 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 you pardon I never promised you a rose garden 

Along with the sunshine there's gotta be a little rain sometimes 

[ guitar ] 

I beg you 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 talking about 

So smile for a while...
