Bette Midler - The Rose

[00:15.37] Some say love, it is a river [00:22.51] That drowns the tender reed [00:29.95] Some say love, it is a razor [00:37.78] That leaves your soul to bleed [00:45.33] Some say love, it is a hunger [00:53.09] An endless aching need [01:01.45] I say love, it is a flower [01:09.36] And you, its only seed [01:16.43] [01:20.41] It's the heart, afraid of breaking [01:28.18] That never learns to dance [01:34.87] It's the dream, afraid of waking [01:42.79] That never takes the chance [01:49.51] It's the one who won't be taken [01:57.20] Who cannot seem to give [02:04.52] And the soul, afraid of dying [02:12.09] That never learns to live [02:19.93] [02:22.86] When the night has been too lonely [02:30.42] And the road has been too long [02:36.74] And you think that love is only [02:43.75] For the lucky and the strong [02:51.10] Just remember in the winter [02:57.71] Far beneath the bitter snows [03:02.58] [03:06.14] Lies the seed that with the sun's love [03:13.70] In the spring becomes the rose [03:21.22]
