Rose Lyrics

The Rose

Bette Midler

Some say love, it is a river

That drowns the tender reed

Some say love, it is a razor

That leaves your soul to bleed

Some say love, it is a hunger,

An endless aching need

I say love, it is a flower,

And you its only seed

It's the heart, afraid of breaking,

That never learns to dance

It's the dream, afraid of waking,
Bette Midler - Rose - http://motolyrics.com/bette-midler/rose-lyrics.html
That never takes a chance

It's the one who won't be taken,

Who cannot seem to give

And the soul, afraid of dyin',

That never learns to live

When the night has been too lonely,

And the road has been too long

And you think that love is only

For the lucky and the strong

Just remember in the winter

Far beneath the bitter snows

Lies the seed, that with the sun's love,

In the spring becomes the rose
