I Never Promised You a Rose Garden lyrics

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 Come along, enjoy the good times while we can 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
