bette midler
some say love, it is a river
that drowns a 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
when a heart afraid of breaking
stumbles in the dance
or a dream afraid of waking
passes on a chance
and someone who won’t be taken
does the same when called to give
there’s a soul afraid of dying
but yet, it yearns to live
through this night, that’s been so lonely
on a road that seemed too long
don’t accept that love is only
for the lucky and the strong
for remember, in darkest winter
far beneath a sheltering snow
a seed lives on
that with the sun’s love
in warm spring
becomes a rose
