The Rose
Bette  Midler
Lyrics by:  Amanda McBroom
I have always loved this song!  It was a big hit in the early 80's.  The reason it was so special to me is because my Granna's name was Rose.  We lost her during the time this song was popular, and it gave me great comfort to know that someday, she will bloom again. 





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 end less 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 dyin'
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.
