I beg your pardon |
| [00:09.45] |
I never promised you a rose garden |
| [00:13.66] |
Along with the sunshine |
| [00:16.98] |
There's gotta be a little rain some time |
| [00:21.11] |
When you take you gotta give so live and let live |
| [00:24.22] |
Or let go oh-whoa-whoa-whoa |
| [00:27.77] |
I beg your pardon |
| [00:30.73] |
I never promised you a rose garden |
| [00:36.28] |
I could promise you things like big diamond rings |
| [00:39.70] |
But you don't find roses growin' on stalks of clover |
| [00:46.14] |
So you better think it over |
| [00:50.16] |
Well if sweet-talkin' you could make it come true |
| [00:54.62] |
I would give you the world right now on a silver platter |
| [01:00.37] |
But what would it matter |
| [01:03.95] |
So smile for a while and let's be jolly |
| [01:08.89] |
Love shouldn't be so melancholy |
| [01:12.61] |
Come along and share the good times while we can |
| [01:21.09] |
I beg your pardon |
| [01:21.74] |
I never promised you a rose garden |
| [01:25.42] |
Along with the sunshine |
| [01:27.87] |
There's gotta be a little rain some time |
| [01:41.22] |
I beg your pardon |
| [01:43.19] |
I never promised you a rose garden |
| [01:48.56] |
I could sing you a tune and promise you the moon |
| [01:52.04] |
But if that's what it takes to hold you |
| [01:54.65] |
I'd just as soon let you go |
| [01:58.23] |
But there's one thing I want you to know |
| [02:01.83] |
You better look before you leap, still waters run deep |
| [02:05.67] |
And there won't always be someone there to pull you out |
| [02:10.26] |
And you know what I'm talkin' about |
| [02:16.40] |
So smile for a while and let's be jolly |
| [02:20.94] |
Love shouldn't be so melancholy |
| [02:24.96] |
Come along and share the good times while we can |
| [02:30.72] |
I beg your pardon |
| [02:33.16] |
I never promised you a rose garden |
| [02:38.11] |
Along with the sunshine |
| [02:41.53] |
There's gotta be a little rain some time |
