Rose Garden
Embracing Life's Contrasts: Unveiling the Truth Behind the Rose Garden
Lyrics
I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden
I apologize; I never guaranteed you a trouble-free life.
Along with the sunshine there's gotta be a little rain sometime
Life has its ups and downs; challenges are inevitable.
When you take you gotta give so live and let live and let go oh oh oh oh
Give as much as you take, live freely, and release control.
I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden
Reiteration of not promising an idyllic life.
I could promise you things like big diamond rings
I might offer material things, but true happiness is rare.
But you don't find roses growin' on stalks of clover
True happiness is not common; it's not found everywhere.
So you better think it over
Reflect on it carefully before making decisions.
When it's sweet talking you could make it come true
Sweet words can be promising, but they may not always materialize.
I would give you the world right now on a silver platter
I am willing to give you everything right now.
But what would it matter
However, material possessions may not bring lasting satisfaction.
So smile for a while and let's be jolly love shouldn't be so melancholy
Smile and be happy; love should not be sorrowful.
Come along and share the good times while we can
Enjoy the good times together while they last.
I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden
Reiteration of not promising an idyllic life.
Along with the sunshine there's gotta be a little rain sometime
Life has its ups and downs; challenges are inevitable.
I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden
Reiteration of not promising an idyllic life.
I could sing you a tune and promise you the moon
I can make promises, but if it means losing you, I won't.
But if that's what it takes to hold you I'd just as soon let you go
Some sacrifices are not worth making to keep someone.
But there's one thing I want you to know
Be cautious in your decisions; consequences can be significant.
You'd better look before you leap still waters run deep
Think before taking risks; hidden problems may arise.
And there won't always be someone there to pull you out
Not everyone will be there to help you when you're in trouble.
And you know what I'm talking about
Understand the risks and challenges.
So smile for a while and let's be jolly love shouldn't be so melancholy
Smile and be happy; love should not be sorrowful.
Come along and share the good times while we can
Enjoy the good times together while they last.
I beg your pardon I never promised you a rose garden
Reiteration of not promising an idyllic life.
Along with the sunshine there's gotta be a little rain sometime
Life has its ups and downs; challenges are inevitable.
