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  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  the chance
 It's the one  who won't be taken,  who cannot  seem to give
 And the soul,  afraid of dyin',  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

[D]Some say love, [A]it is a rive[G]r that dro[A]wns the[D] tender reed
Some say [D]love, it is a r[A]azor that le[G]aves your [A]soul to[D] bleed
Some say [Bm]love, it is a h[G]unger, an en[Em]dless aching [A]need
I say lov[D]e, it is a flow[A]er, and [G]you it's [A]only s[D]eed

It's the [D]heart, afraid of [A]breaking, that [G]never l[A]earns to [D]dance
It's the [D]dream, afraid of [A]waking, that [G]never [A]takes the [D]chance
It's the [Bm]one who won't be [G]taken, who [Em]cannot seem to [A]give
And the s[D]oul, afraid of [A]dyin', that [G]never [A]learns to [D]live

When the [D]night has been too [A]lonely
And the [G]road has [A]been too [D]long
And you [D]think that love is [A]only for the [G]lucky [A]and the [D]strong
Just rem[Bm]ember in the w[G]inter far b[Em]eneath the bitter [A]snows
Lies the [D]seed, that with the [A]sun's love, in the [G]spring
[A]Becomes The [D]Rose
