Rosegarden
Embracing Life's Mix: Sunshine, Rain, and Unpromised Roses
Lyrics
I beg your pardon
I apologize for any offense or misunderstanding
I never promised you a rose garden
I never guaranteed you an easy, trouble-free life
Along with the sunshine
Despite the positive aspects
There's got to be a little rain sometime
Challenges and difficulties are inevitable
And when you take you got to give
In relationships, reciprocity is essential
So live and let live
Accept others and their choices
Or let go oh, oh, oh, oh
Release control if necessary
I beg your pardon
I apologize for any offense or misunderstanding (repeated)
I never promised you a rose garden
I never guaranteed you an easy, trouble-free life (repeated)
I could promise you things like big diamond rings
I could make extravagant promises, but reality is different
But you don't find roses growin' on the stalks of clover
True love is not found easily
And you better think it over
Carefully consider the situation
When sweet-talkin' you would make it come true
Words alone may not fulfill promises
Then I'd give you the world right now on a silver platter
If I could, I'd give you everything
But what would it matter
Material possessions may not bring happiness
So smile for a while and let's be jolly
Be happy for a short time
Love shouldn't be so melancholy
Love should not be consistently sad
Come along and share the good times while we can
Enjoy the good times together
I beg your pardon
I apologize for any offense or misunderstanding (repeated)
I never promised you a rose garden
I never guaranteed you an easy, trouble-free life (repeated)
Along with the sunshine
Despite the positive aspects (repeated)
There's got to be a little rain sometime
Challenges and difficulties are inevitable (repeated)
I beg your pardon
I apologize for any offense or misunderstanding (repeated)
I never promised you a rose garden
I never guaranteed you an easy, trouble-free life (repeated)
I could sing you a tune and promise you the moon
I could use sweet words and make grand promises
But if that's what it takes to hold you
If that's what it takes to keep you, I'd rather let you go
I'd just as soon let you go
Preference for honesty over empty promises
But there's one thing I want you to know
Important information you should be aware of
You better look before you leap, still water runs deep
Be cautious, appearances can be deceiving
And there won't always be someone there to pull you out
Life may present challenges without assistance
And you know what I'm talkin' about
Awareness of potential difficulties
So smile for a while and let's be jolly
Be happy for a short time
Love shouldn't be so melancholy
Love should not be consistently sad
Come along and share the good times while we can
Enjoy the good times together
I beg your pardon
I apologize for any offense or misunderstanding (repeated)
I never promised you a rose garden
I never guaranteed you an easy, trouble-free life (repeated)
Along with the sunshine
Despite the positive aspects (repeated)
There's got to be a little rain sometime
Challenges and difficulties are inevitable (repeated)
When you take you got to give
In relationships, reciprocity is essential (repeated)
So live and let live
Accept others and their choices (repeated)
Or let go oh, oh, oh, oh
Release control if necessary (repeated)
I beg your pardon
I apologize for any offense or misunderstanding (repeated)
I never promised you a rose garden
I never guaranteed you an easy, trouble-free life (repeated)
