The Rose Lyrics - Singles - Barbara Streisand

Some say love, it is a river, that drowns the tender reed 

Some say love, it is a razor, that leads your soul to bleed 

Some say love, it is a hunger, and endless 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 a chanceIt's the one, who won't be taken who can not seem to give 

And the soul afraid of dying that never learns to live 

When the night has been to lonely and the road has been to longAnd you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong 

Just remember in the winter far beneath the bitter snow 

Lies the seed that with the sun's love in the spring becomes the rose.
