一首经典老歌，由Bette Midler在其领衔主演的《The Rose》(歌声泪痕)中作为片尾曲首唱。之后被手嶌葵(Aoi Teshima)，西城男孩等众多名歌手翻唱，是传唱度极高的一首歌。

The Rose

     --westlife

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 dyin',

that never learns to live.

When the night has been too lonely,

And the road has been to 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.
