Rose Garden
Demi Lee Moore Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I never promised you a rose garden
Along with the sunshine
There's gotta be a little rain some time
When you take you gotta give so live and let live
Or let go
I beg your pardon
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 gotta 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
The lyrics to Demi Lee Moore's song "Rose Garden" are a reminder that life can't always be perfect, and that relationships are no exception to this rule. The singer starts by apologizing, stating that they never promised their partner a perfect life, represented metaphorically by a rose garden. While there may be sunshine, there will inevitably also be some rain. Therefore, it's important to give and take, and let go if necessary, as the singer suggests.
The lyrics go on to explain that the singer could promise their partner riches, but that won't necessarily bring happiness. There's a subtle warning that smooth-talking isn't always enough to fix problems, and that relationships take work. The singer encourages their partner to enjoy the good times while they can, and not to dwell on the melancholy aspects of love.
Overall, "Rose Garden" is a song about the ups and downs of relationships, and the importance of living in the moment and not expecting life to be perfect.
Line by Line Meaning
I beg your pardon
Excuse me
I never promised you a rose garden
I didn't guarantee things will always be perfect
Along with the sunshine
Life has its bright moments
There's gotta be a little rain some time
But difficulties are inevitable
When you take you gotta give so live and let live
If you want to receive, you have to be willing to give and let others live their lives
Or let go
Otherwise, it's better to walk away
I could promise you things like big diamond rings
I could make you empty promises of material things
But you don't find roses growing on stalks of clover
But unrealistic expectations won't lead to happiness
So you better think it over
So take some time to consider our relationship
Well if sweet-talking you could make it come true
If compliments and flattery could fulfill your desires
I would give you the world right now on a silver platter
I would grant your every wish
But what would it matter
But would it really make a difference in the long run?
So smile for a while and let's be jolly
So let's enjoy this moment and have some fun
Love shouldn't be so melancholy
Love shouldn't be sad all the time
Come along and share the good times while we can
Let's enjoy the happy moments we have while we have them
But there's one thing I want you to know
But there's something important I need to tell you
You better look before you leap, still waters run deep
You should be cautious and careful, things may not be as they seem
And there won't always be someone there to pull you out
And you won't always have someone to rescue you
And you know what I'm talking about
And I'm sure you understand what I mean
