I noticed there wasnt any good versions of this classic song on here so.
I took it upon myself to put one up.Its a really good song written by Joe
South recorded by Lynn Anderson.
I beg your pardon,I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine theres gotta be a little rain sometimes
When you take you gotta give so live & let live or let go
I beg your 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
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
nc
Come along and share the good times while we can
Chorus
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
You better 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 and let's be jolly
Love shouldn't be so melancholy
nc
Come along and share the good times while we can
Rpt Chorus and iris out
