SONG : The Rose

ARTIST : Bette Midler

lyrics of the rose

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 snows

Lies the seed that with the sun's love

In the spring becomes the rose

Remember my mom playing this when I was a child.  Now listening to this with a drink in one hand and wiping my tears with the other. How I miss her.

I lost my mum yesterday & this was her favourite song, this is probably the first time I've really sat n took the words in... beautiful just like she was inside and out 🧚‍♀️ x

This song was played for my Beautiful Mother at her funeral. She left this world to soon due to Cancer. Her favourite flower was the rose & she loved growing them too. Never far from my thoughts, till I see you again 🌹
