Rose Garden Lyrics - Norma Jean

I beg you pardon I never promised you a rose garden 

Along with the sunshine there's gotta 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 growing on stalks of clover so you better think it over 

If 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 

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 

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 

Smile for a while and let's be jolly love shouldn't be so melancholy 

I beg you pardon I never promised you a rose garden
