THE ROSE BETTE MIDLER
C G7
Some say love it is a river
F G C
that drowns the tender reed.
C G7
Some say love it is a razor
F G C
that leaves your soul to bleed.
Cmaj7 F
Some say love it is a hunger,
G7sus G7
an endless aching need.
C G
I say love it is a flower
F G C
and you its only seed.
C G
It's the heart afraid of breaking
F G C
that never learns to dance.
G
It's the dream afraid of waking
F G C
that never takes the chance.
Em Am7
It's the one who won't be taken,
F G
who cannot seem to give,
C G
and the soul afraid of dyin'
F G C
that never learns to live.
When the night has been to 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.
