Bette Midler - The Rose lyrics

Some say love, it is a river

That drowns the tender reed

Some say love, it is a razor

That leaves your sould to bleed

Some say love, it is a hunger

An endless aching need

I say love, it is a flower

And you it's only seed.

It's the heart afraid of breaking

That never learns to dance

It's the dream afraid of waking

That never takes the chance

It's the one who won't be taken

Who cannot seem to give

And the sould afraid of dyin'

That never learns to live.

When the night has been too lonely

And the road has been to long

And you think that love is only

For the lucky and the strong

Just remember in the winter

Far beneath the winter snows

Lies the seed that with the sun's love

In the spring becomes the rose.
