Rose Garden

You never promised me a rose garden

You never said it would be easy

You never promised me a leisure lifetime

You only said you'd never leave meWell, I never took the time to realize

How much I needed love in order to survive

I was so spoiled, a princess in my time

And your love was so deep and mine so blindYou never promised me a ring made out of diamonds

A band of gold you said was all you could buy

You never said I'd be a rich man's lady

And oh my darling no, you never liedWell, I never took the time to realize

How much I needed love in order to survive

But I was so spoiled, a princess in my time

And your love was so deep and mine so blindAnd now you're gone and I'm alone and I'm so lonely

Nothing seems to be the same

One day I turned around and you no longer loved me

In my life there's been a big changeNow I've a big house

With pillars standing tall all around

Yeah, and I've got a garden

And it's got roses dangling down to the groundYes, and I've got money, men to love me and acres of land

Well, I've got all these things, all these things but a small gold band

On my finger on my left hand, on my finger on my left hand

No, no, you never promised, you never promised me a rose garden

No, you never promised
