In 1977 aspiring singer songwriter Amanda McBroom was under pressure from her manager to create a song that could help her get a record deal. While driving in her car in Los Angeles one day McBroom heard Danny O'Keefe’s song “Magdelena” on the radio. Intrigued by the line “Your love Is like a razor,...
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
The Rose was written by Amanda McBroom.
The Rose was produced by Paul A. Rothchild.
Bette Midler released The Rose on Mon Mar 10 1980.
