THE ROSE(*)
From the movie "The Rose"
By: Bette Midler
Some say love, it is a river,
Some say love, it is a hunger
It's the heart, afraid of breaking,
It's the one, who won't be taken,
When the night has been too lonely,
Just remember in the winter,
(*)This song was requested by Barbara! Thank you for your request, Barbara! RP
that drowns the tender reed.
Some say love, it is a razor
that leaves a soul to bleed.
an ever aching need.
But I say love, it is a flower
and you it's only seed!
that never learns to dance
It's the dream, afraid of waking,
that never takes a chance.
who never leans to give.
And the soul afraid of dying,
that never learns to live!
and the road has been too long
and you think that love is only
for the lucky and the strong
beneath the bitter snow,
lies the seed that with the sun's love,
in the spring, becomes the Rose!
