The rose 　　　　　　　Bette Midler                               玫　瑰 　　　　貝蒂蜜德勒
Some say love, it is a river                                               有人說，愛是條河
that drowns the tender reed                                             容易將柔弱的蘆葦淹沒
Some say love, it is a razor                                              有人說，愛是把剃刀
that leaves your soul to blee                                            會任由你的靈魂淌血
Some say love, it is a hunger an endless aching need            有人說，愛是種饑渴 一種無盡的帶痛的需求
I say love is a flower                                                      我說，愛是一朵花
And you, it's only seed                                                    而你，只是花的種籽

It's the heart afraid of breaking                                        害怕破碎的心
that never learns to dance                                                  永遠學不會跳舞
It's the dream afraid of waking                                          害怕醒來的夢
that never takes the chance                                                永遠沒有機會
It's the one who won't be taken who can not seem to give      不願吃虧的人 不懂得付出
And the soul afraid of dying that never learns to live          憂心死亡的靈魂 不懂得生活

When the night has been too lonely                                               當夜顯得寂寞不堪
And the road has been too long                                                     去路顯得無盡漫長
And you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong           當你覺得只有幸運者 及強者才有幸得到愛
Just remember in the winter                                                        謹記，在嚴寒的冬日裡
Far beneath the bitter snow lies the seed                                      酷雪的覆蓋下，躺著一顆種籽
That with the sun's love in the spring becomes the rose                  一旦春陽臨照，就能幻化成一朵　玫　瑰
