The Rose

Bette Midler

 CG7FGC
Some say love, it is a river, that drowns the tender reed
 CG7FGC
Some say love, it is a razor, that leads your soul to bleed
 Cmaj7FG7
Some say love it is a hunger, and endless aching need
 CGFC
I say love it is a flower and you its only seed

 CG7FGC
It's the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance
 CG7FGC
It's the dream afraid of waking that never takes a chance
 EmAm7FG
It's the one, who won't be taken who cannot seem to give
 CGFGC
And the soul afraid of dying that never learns to live

 CG7FGC
When the night has been too lonely and the road has been too long
 CG7FGC
And you find that love is only for the lucky and the strong
 EmAm7FG
Just remember in the winter for 'neath the bitter snow
 CGFGC
Lies the seed that with the sun's love, in the spring becomes the rose
