Lamentations from the broken book of the broken hearted prophet.

[Guest guest]

and Jehovah said unto Jeremiah, " You will go to them; but for their

part, they will not listen to you " . and Jeremiah went... and

lamented... and then everybody started to complain about things..until

God sent us Lynn Anderson. and the Lord God Almighty said unto the

little cowgirl, " I want you to ask them just what do they want from me

anyway, permission to be a fake? Stop whining " . and thus were born the

following lyrics and a nifty little tune from a sweet country gal:

 

 

 

I beg your pardon,

I never promised you a rose garden.

Along with the sunshine,

There's gotta be a little rain sometimes.

When you take, you gotta give, so live and let live,

Or let go.

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 growin' on stalks of clover.

So you better think it over.

Well, if sweet-talkin' 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 gotta be a little rain sometimes.

 

Instrumental break.

 

I beg your pardon,

I never promised you a rose garden.

 

I could sing you a tune or 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 talkin' 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 gotta be a little rain sometimes.
