(Intro)

Refrain:
I Beg Your Pardon
I Never Promised You A Rose Garden
Along With The Sunshine
There's Got To Be A Little Rain Sometimes.
When You Take You Got To Give
So Live And Let Live
Oh, Let Go.
I Beg Your Pardon
I Never Promised You A Rose Garden.

1. Strophe:
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.

2. Strophe:
When It's Sweet Talking
You Can Make It Come True
I Would Give You The World Right Now
On A Silver Platter
But What Would It Matter

Break:
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.

(Refrain Mit Solo-Break Dann Rest)

3. Strophe:
I Could Sing You A Tune
And Promise You The Moon
But If That's What It Takes To Hold You
I Just As Soon Let You Go
But There's One Thing  I Want You To Know.

4. Strophe:
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

(Break)

Dextro:
I Beg Your Pardon
I Never Promised You A Rose Garden
Along With The Sunshine
There's Got To Be A Little Rain Sometimes.
I Beg Your Pardon
I Never Promised You A Rose Garden
