The Rose

7/30/2021

Words and music by Amanda McBroom. First recorded by Bette Midler for the movie of the same name.
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 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

It's the Battle of the Ballads! Smooching Smackdown Part I

3 unabashedly romantic songs.
​
​But only one gets to be named the crooniest, brain-melting-ist,
amor-inducing-est of them all. 

It's up to you America! Vote early and often.
