| Tara skated to Color of Roses for the 2001-2002 season. She preformed it first at the Celebration Of Gold in Dallas TX which aired on tv. There she preformed it during the part of the show that was dedicated to remembering your olympic victory. She then preformed it at at Ice Wars and during Stars On Ice. The song is sung but Beth Neilsen Chapman and below is a quote from her official website about the song. �The Color Of Roses was written with Matt Rollings; it was very subliminal in terms of the way the lyric presented itself. The vowels seemed to have been lined up in place on the early work tapes where I tend to just sing nonsense syllables prior to having lyrics. I noticed this after the lyric was finished and happened to hear an old work tape from months before. I love what this song says. That to believe is to manifest, and that in spite of all we must grieve, there is incredible hope and beauty in life.� Beth Nielsen Chapman Facts <--- Bette Midler covered this song on her album Bette (2000) This song was featured on Bette Midler's TV show, Bette, 15 November 2000 Lyrics <--- I held you close to me Once in a distant dream Far from the shores of my fear I sailed on this ocean Where all I imagined could happen And now you are here It's so hard to touch what is out of our hands To know and to trust what the heart understands Chorus: Only the ones who believe Ever see what they dream Ever dream what comes true Life gives us magic And life brings us tragedy Everyone suffers some loss Still we have faith in it Childlike hope There's a reason that outweighs the cost And gravity throws all these rules in our way And sometimes the spirit refuses to play Chorus Oh Love Turn me around in your arms And in this dream we share Let us not miss one kiss And add my regrets to the tears in the rain That's what the color of roses contain Chorus Extra <--- If you would like to know more about Beth visit her website here |
