Some say love, it is a river,
That drowns the tender reed
(Stay on C Chord) G
Some say love, it is a razor,
That leaves your soul to bleed
Some say love it is a hunger,
An endless acheing 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 a 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 feel 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
