1. Some say [C]love it is a [G]river
That [F]drowns [G]the tender [C]reed
Some say love it is a [G]razor
That [F]leaves [G]your soul to [C]bleed
Some say [Em]love it is a [Am]hunger
An [F]endless aching [G]need
I say [C]love it is a [G]flower
And [F]you [G]it’s only [C]seed
2. It’s the [C]heart afraid of [G]breaking
That [F]never [G]learns to [C]dance
It’s the dream afraid of [G]waking
That [F]never [G]takes the [C]chance
It’s the [Em]one who won’t be [Am]taken
Who [F]can not seem to [G]give
And the [C]soul afraid of [G]dying
That [F]never [G]learns to [C]live
3. When the [C]night has been too [G]lonely
And the [F]road [G]has been too [C]long
And you think that love is [G]only
For the [F]lucky [G]and the [C]strong
Just [Em]remember in the [Am]winter
Far [F]beneath the bitter [G]snows
Lies the [C]seed that with the [G]sun’s love
In the [F]spring [G]becomes the [C]rose
