ROSE GARDEN
(Lyrics & Music : Joe South)
Lynn Anderson - 1971
I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine
There's got to be a little rain some time
When you take you got to give so live and let live
Or let go oh-whoa-whoa-whoa
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
Well if 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
Come along and share the good times while we can
I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine
There's got to be a little rain some time
I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden
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
Come along and share the good times while we can
I beg your pardon
I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine
There's got to be a little rain some time

According to a CD I have "Super Hits of the 70's" (Vol 4.), "Rose Garden" by Lynn Anderson peaked in the chart in February 1971, she won a Grammy for Best Female Country Vocal for this song in 1970. kd Lang also recorded this on one of her earlier albums.
