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 snow

Lies the seed

That with the sun's love, in the spring

Becomes the rose

I love this song so much...
Don't know why...this song can calm down my heart...it did...
First time listen to this song was through the guitar version played by Sungha Jung...
"It was amazing...why I never heard this song before? Luckily I found it..." this is what I feel when first time listening to this song....
I know there had been many version covered by other singers....the original version is sang a guy...but I don't know who is him exactly...
I love Olivia's cover very much~~~
Olivia's voice really killing me softly...&( ^__^ )&
That is no longer be "killing me softly with his song"
It should be killing me softly with her song~~ ^_^
