          C             G7 
Some say love, it is a river
       F          G7    C 
That drowns the tender reed.
                        G7 
Some say love, it is a razor
       F           G7     C     
That leaves your soul to bleed.
                        F 
Some say love, it is a hunger,
                   G7 
An endless aching need.
        C             G7 
I say love, it is a flower,
     F             C 
And you its only seed.

          C               G7 
It's the heart afraid of breaking
      F      G7        C 
That never learns to dance.
                           G7 
It's the dream afraid of waking
      F      G7        C 
That never takes the chance.
          Em            Am 
It's the one who won't be taken,
     F              G 
Who cannot seem to give,
         C              G7 
And the soul afraid of dyin'
       F     G7       C 
That never learns to live.

          C                   G7 
When the night has been too lonely
         F         G7      C 
And the road has been too long,
                            G7 
And you think that love is only
         F     G7       C 
For the lucky and the strong,
        Em            Am 
Just remember in the winter
       F                G 
Far beneath the bitter snows
           C                 G7 
Lies the seed that with the sun's love
         F      G7          C 
In the spring becomes the rose.
