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

Some say love, it is 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 & you its only seed



It's the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance

Its the dream afraid of waking that never takes the chance
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/n/nana+mouskouri/the+rose_20306916.html ]
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 & the road has been too long

And you think that love is only for the lucky & 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
