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, share 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
You never promised me a Rose Garden
You never said it would be easy
You never promised me a leisure lifetime
You only said you`d never leave me
CHORUS:
Well I never took the time to realize
How much I needed love in order to survive
I was so spoiled...a princess in my time
And your love was so deep
And mine...so blind
You never promised me a ring made out of diamonds
A band of gold you said was all you could buy
You never said I`d be a rich man`s lady
And oh my darling...no, you never lied
CHORUS:
Well I never took the time to realize
How much I needed love in order to survive
I was so spoiled...a princess in my time
And your love was so deep
And mine...so blind
(SOLO)
And now you`re gone...and I`m alone, and I`m so lonely
Nothing seems to be the same
One day I turned around and you no longer loved me
In my life there`s been a big change
