The Rose Lyrics - Bette Midler song

The Rose Lyrics - Bette Midler song

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

An endless aching need

And you, its only seed

Some say love, it is a hunger

I say love, it is a flower

It's the heart, afraid of breaking

That never learns to dance

It's the dream, afraid of waking

It's the one who won't be taken

That never takes the chance

Who cannot seem to give

And the soul, afraid of dying

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 snow

Lies the seed

That with the sun's love, in the spring

Becomes the rose
