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...

    Was on a service call in Hendersonville Tenn. I stopped to see Johhny and Junes gravend little did i know i was two city blocks from the old Twitty city where he(Conway) and his family lived. Due to time i did not walk around looking for other famous people...but i wish i had. Hendersonville memorial gardens is easy to find...just park behind the main building...walk up the small hill just to the south and say hello to two legends.

    CONWAY TWITTY WAS A GENIUS!

  36. J.... n....

    this song truly gets across Gods purpose for us to love. Its my mamas favorite song and its message truly shows that we dont understand why someone doesnt have the same level of love as us. Its beautiful.but the level of love of each individual is stronger than that of our own iniquities from the preconceived notions of this world. This world will lead us into misconceptions after genesis 3. But its up to us to weed through the distractions and share the Love with all.

    The best friend a song ever had, was the way Pork Chop, his drummer, introduced him for years---listening 26 years after his death in June 1993!!

  45. B.... W....

    Did anyone hope that Conway would just speak the whole tune? I prefer the duet of man and woman with drums.

    A legend! I’m proud to say I met Mr. Twitty a year or two before he passed away. I’ll never forget...my brother and I met him during the early morning hours at a Hendersonville, Tennessee grocery store. There he was with his basket in hand shopping for items in the dairy section! My brother wanted to immediately go up to him for his autograph but I talked him out of it saying he could have people shop for him but chose to live life like normal...that’s why he was shopping during middle of the night. As we went to checkout, Mr. Twitty was next in line behind us! My brother grabbed a napkin at the deli section and asked Mr. Twitty for his autograph which he kindly did with a great big smile! Thank you Mr. Conway Twitty for all the great memories!

  95. S.... K....
