Letra de
The Rose

The Rose, compuesta por Amanda McBroom y popularizada por Bette Midler, fue inspirada por una canción que McBroom escuchó en la banda sonora de la película Madame X. Inicialmente escrita para su uso personal, se hizo conocida después de ser elegida como tema para la película The Rose protagonizada por Midler en 1979.

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 snow
Lies the seed that with the sun's love,
In the spring becomes the rose
