There is a good Wiki article here: en.wikipedia.o...)
At the time Bette Midler was working on the film of the same name, When she heard the song for the first time she was immediately interested and insisted on singing the song herself for the film. “The Rose” the film, was a hit and the song “The Rose” an even bigger one
The song is is easy to play, it does not necessarily need to be finger picked as I am doing, it can also be strummed lightly. Far more important is the singing which, as always requires the singer to “feel” the lyric.
"The Rose" by Amanda McBroom
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 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
