Lyrics
|
|
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 me
|
|
CHORUS:
|
Well 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 blind
|
|
You 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 lied
|
|
CHORUS:
|
Well 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 blind
|
|
(SOLO)
|
|
And 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 change
|
|
Now...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 ground
|
Yes, 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
|
Oh no...you never promised...
|
You never promised...me a Rose Garden
|
|
