Bette Midler - The Rose

[00:06.75] Some say love, it is a river [00:14.46] That drowns the tender reed [00:21.62] Some say love, it is a razor [00:29.89] That leaves your soul to bleed [00:37.03] Some say love, it is a hunger [00:45.45] An endless aching need [00:53.14] I say love, it is a flower [01:01.38] And you, its only seed [01:09.29] [01:12.13] It's the heart, afraid of breaking [01:20.22] That never learns to dance [01:26.84] It's the dream, afraid of waking [01:34.60] That never takes the chance [01:41.48] It's the one who won't be taken [01:49.37] Who cannot seem to give [01:56.32] And the soul, afraid of dying [02:04.33] That never learns to live [02:14.73] When the night has been too lonely [02:22.31] And the road has been too long [02:28.79] And you think that love is only [02:36.01] For the lucky and the strong [02:42.93] Just remember in the winter [02:49.97] Far beneath the bitter snows [02:57.85] Lies the seed that with the sun's love [03:06.02] In the spring becomes the rose [03:12.72]
