Stevie Nicks - Rose Garden 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

    This was my mother's favorite song...I love this woman because of my mother

    @Pam Miller because she introduced me. Back story, my mother was murdered by her husband, so the two are tied together because of her love for her. But please, judge knowing shit all about another person, people like you are what's wrong with world, acting like they know all..... go away

    C.... W....

    Stevie Stefanie Nick's if you haven't been told today l will be the first your beautiful

    This is the version released on the Enchanted box set. It's scaled down, most noticeably less guitar. Stevie has said she was absent for the final mixing of this album because of her second stint in rehab. This is basically the way she would liked for it to have been.

    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

    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

    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

    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

    I know she wrote this in 1965. But it is so haunting to me when you consider how her life unfolded. I would love to see her sing it acoustic with Lindsey on guitar. But going on recent events, hell would have to freeze over! 🤪

  7. B.... S....

    💙 Love this. Always one of my favorite's . I believe very autobiographical.

  8. h.... ....

    Can you confirm this is the remix version?

    h.... ....

    This is the remix. It's more laid back.

  9. O.... G....

    Gently awesome. Cheers!

  10. D.... ....

    She has so many amazing songs but this is one of my favorites!

  11. W.... P....

    Her best song to me.
