Rose Garden Video (MV)

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 growin' on stalks of clover so you better think it over

When 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

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...

I beg you pardon I never promised you a rose garden
