I Never Promised You a Rose Garden

I beg your pardon

I never promised you a rose garden

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

I could promise you things,

Like big diamond rings

But if that's what it takes to hold you

I'd as soon as let you go

But there's one thing I want you to know

Oh, smile for a while and lets be jolly

Love shouldn't be so melancholy

I beg your pardon

I never promised you a rose garden

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

I said, Oh oh oh oh, I beg your pardon

I never promised you a rose garden
