"The Rose"....this song was written and made popular by Bette Midler
a long time ago but now I am hearing it played again on CW stations.
I never catch who is singing it though!
No reason I chose it for this page, other than the fact I just like it.
------------------------------------------
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 it's only
seed
It's the heart afraid of breaking
that never learns to dance
It's the dream afraid of waking
that never takes the chance
It's the one who won't be taken
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 snows
lies the seed
that with the sun's love
in the spring
becomes the rose
