Conway Twitty – The Rose lyrics
Some say love, it is a river
And that it drowns the tender reed
And some say love, it's like a razor
And that it 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, it's only seed.

It's a heart afraid of breaking
That never learns to dance
It's a dream afraid of waking
That never takes the chance.

It's the one who won't be taken
Who can not seem to give
And the soul afraid of dying
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 spring becomes the rose...

    The songs is about love trials & tribulations people afraid to fall in love because it's been like a razor & cut into them deep. But they try anyway ams it hurts bit there are small moments of happiness ans maybe a family holding the relationship together for the moment but the way you love tour seed the better it will grow and the more beautiful it will become.

    The song is saying love as beautiful as a rose. When you think of a rose you think of your "loved ones". Rose is a symbol of the love. The love you share with your "loved ones" is important to you. Never forgot the love you share with your "loved ones".

    It's saying love yourself.. when all else fails and you think love is for the lucky and the strong.. it says your the seed.. nurture yourself and you will grow.. loving ourself comes before you can ask anyone else to do so. It's a metafore I supose although it's an amazing song this is my take on it
