Bette-Midler-The-Rose

[00:04.37] Some say love, it is a river

[00:13.36] That drowns the tender reed

[00:21.61] Some say love, it is a razor

[00:29.11] That leaves your soul to bleed

[00:36.86] Some say love, it is a hunger

[00:45.11] An endless aching need

[00:53.36] I say love, it is a flower

[01:00.86] And you, its only seed

[01:12.36] It's the heart, afraid of breaking

[01:19.61] That never learns to dance

[01:26.86] It's the dream, afraid of waking

[01:34.11] That never takes the chance

[01:41.62] It's the one who won't be taken

[01:49.36] Who cannot seem to give

[01:56.37] And the soul, afraid of dying

[02:04.36] That never learns to live

[02:15.12] When the night has been too lonely

[02:22.61] And the road has been too long

[02:28.11] And you think that love is only

[02:35.61] For the lucky and the strong

[02:43.11] Just remember in the winter

[02:49.11] Far beneath the bitter snows

[02:57.36] Lies the seed that with the sun's love

[03:05.86] In the spring becomes the rose
