Lyrics

[00:-0.50] The Rose
[00:01.50] Ar: Amanda McBroom
[00:03.50] Al: Growing Up in Hollywood Town
[00:05.13]
[00:06.07] some say love it is a river
[00:13.17] that drowns the tender reed
[00:19.20] some say love it is a razor
[00:26.31] that leaves your soul to bleed
[00:32.50] some say love it is a hunger
[00:39.51] an endless aching need
[00:46.23] I say love it is a flower
[00:53.29] and you it's only seed
[01:03.00] it's the heart afraid of breaking
[01:09.46] that never learns to dance
[01:15.49] it's the dream afraid of waking
[01:21.99] that never takes the chance
[01:27.87] it's the one who won't be taken
[01:34.66] who cannot seem to give
[01:40.91] and the soul afraid of dyin'
[01:47.56] that never learns to live
[01:56.91] when the night has been too lonely
[02:03.01] and the road has been too long
[02:09.50] and you think that love is only
[02:15.65] for the lucky and the strong
[02:22.11] just remember in the winter
[02:28.69] far beneath the bitter snows
[02:35.83] lies the seed that with the sun's love
[02:42.37] in the spring becomes the rose
