The Rose

As músicas da minha vida (45)

LeAnn Rimes

"The Rose"
Álbum: You Light Up My Life

1997

Creio que ouvi esta música pela primeira vez há bastante tempo, mas só mais tarde é que me lembrei de voltar a procurá-la porque tinha a ideia de ser cantada pela LeAnn Rimes. "The Rose" é uma música linda, mas muito triste, que faz parte do álbum You Light Up My Fire de 1997, e por vezes gosto de voltar a ouvir para espicaçar a minha imaginação.

 
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 it's only seed
It's the heart afraid of breaking
That never learns to dance
Its 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
And 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 a rose.
