The Rose - Nana Mouskouri

作词：Amanda McBroom

作曲：Amanda McBroom

Some say love

it is a river that drowns the tender reed

Some say love

it is razor that leaves your soul to bleed

Some say love

it is a hunger

n endless aching need

I say love

it is a flower and you its 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
