Glee Cast - The Rose Lyrics






[Rachel:]
Some say love, it is a river
That drowns the tender reed
Some say love, it is a razor
That 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 its only seed

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

It's the one who won't be taken
Who cannot seem to give
And the soul afraid of dyin'
That never, 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, 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 the spring becomes the rose

    Where is the karaoke version of this cover? Someone please!

  2. �.... ....

    i like this song❤️

  3. D.... X....

    My eternal Blue Rose...

  4. �.... ....

    I like the best

  5. S.... ....

    “Chris I think you were a little early at the start of bar 4...”

  6. L.... ....

    I love how it goes up a key at the end. I mean, I like Bette Midler’s version and all, but that was really a nice touch!

  7. J.... X....

    Bette milder sang this song originally. Perfect for Rachel Berry as she has the soul aswell as the pipes to pull this beautiful ballad off.

  8. I.... F....

    I just love lea's voice so much

  9. S.... R....

    Family guy!

  10. S.... M....

    cant listen to this, had to mute it so it wont bring my tears, my younger brother passed a few years ago and this song played at his service. I break every time I hear this beautiful song.

  11. D.... H....

    Who else is here in the Begining of 2018

  12. E.... 0....

    I'm holding back laughter right now because I think of Napoleon Dynamite every time I hear this song! 😂😂😂😂

  13. K.... S....

    Amo tanto essa canção :')

  14. K.... J....

    Lea has the best voice!

  15. z.... T....

    la chanson the rose chanté par lea michele est trop belle

  16. L.... S....

    LM's phrasing modernizes the song. It's a very schmaltzy song and has to be done with a lot of control. Bette Midler knew that, too. Always disliked the piano plunk, plunk, plunk.

  17. S.... S....

    tbh santana's raspy voice would have been perfect for this song

  18. A.... T....

    I love this song

  19. t.... e....

    we played the bette midler version at my grandpas funeral today
    r.i.p pappaw!!!! 😭😭😭😭

  20. S.... D....

    the original was on my grandmas memory cd.. I cry every time

  21. T.... M....

    Almost as good as the Family Guy version!

  22. T.... ....

    The first time that I heard this song was back at Family Guy

    T.... ....

    serenity

  23. H.... 1....

    my grandmother passed away 2 months ago and my aunt sang this at the funeral.... it was kinda funny when the Bishop introduced her to go up and sing he accidentally said my grandmother's name and (to make light of an awkward moment) my aunt put her hand on the coffin and said take it away mom 😂

    H.... 1....

    sounded liked your gran was around at the time he started stood up .... sorry for your loss xx

    H.... 1....

    Can't believe it's July and again I've lost another someone I've always held dear to my heart ... RIP Chester Bennington 💋✌♥

    H.... 1....

    HorrorBuff 1990 you'll see them again. Trust me.

  24. M.... F....

    What key is this

    M.... F....

    The fatness

  25. p.... ....

    hmm i cant find this version on spotify

  26. K.... j....

    ✌🙈

  27. N.... A....

    Some say looove it is AUTOTUNE that drowns her bad voice

    N.... A....

    +Noah Awesome Pants If you watch some of her live performances, like her one at the Tony Awards or on her Glee tours, it'll prove you wrong, and drown your bad attitude.

    N.... A....

    you're fucking crazy man

  28. R.... S....

    PERFECTION this is why Rachel Berry is my FAVORITE on glee ALWAYS shines so BRIGHT and NEVER lets down an audience!!!!

    R.... S....

    Mine too. She's perfection. Her annunciation is literally next to none.

  29. s.... l....

    I really need to cry on this one

  30. L.... R....

    I'm singing this in my school's chorus!

  31. a.... c....

    They made the right choice giving lea the part of Rachel Berry :)

  32. L.... R....

    Family Guy brought me here! ;)

  33. S.... ....

    i had goosebumps, i loved it!

  34. N.... c....

    Oh this is so hard to listen to.. I grew up with this song. It was one of the first songs my mom taught me to play on piano.... she passed away a few years ago.. I can't believe Glee covered this. Lea did an amazing job but I could only listen to a the first line and had to mute is as I post this. Beautiful song and bittersweet in so many ways. Great Job Lea!!

  35. S.... Y....

    This is so very beautiful.

  36. S.... ....

    Stunning. She gave a beautiful song new life. Wow!

  37. d.... ....

    She is something special, beautiful cover 

  38. R.... ....

    She ruined it :-( this is a terrible version of one of the most beautiful songs ever. 

    R.... ....

    王鵬傑 yeah true no point wasting time messaging people about it as it probably a stupid 7 year old trying to get attention

    R.... ....

    I'm a 30 yo mother of 4 kids. Not a 7yo.
    I don't like this version at all... And the problem with that is?

    R.... ....

    Rumpelsmystery just don't wast time messaging it

    R.... ....

    Then don't waste time reading it ;)

    R.... ....

    if you don't like it thats one thing but "she ruined it" and "terrible version" is stating your opinion as fact which is arrogant and unnecessarily ruining a lovely common section. It would be fine to say "I don't like this version bc xyz but I appreciate her vocals" or whatever to eep a positive vibe. If you have kids you should get this

  39. R.... S....

    so sweet.. perfect + amazing vocal... my eyes is tearing now... beautiful

  40. B.... ....

    Beautiful.

  41. B.... ....

    That's really deep!!!  Lea just sooo AMAZING 

  42. M.... F....

    I Love Lea!!!

  43. K.... C....

    Great :'C #lovethissong   #loveleamichele   #lovehervoice  

  44. K.... R....

    Sounds pretty but lacks that raw and angsty sound that only Bette Midler can produce singing this.

  45. v.... ....

    this is a very pared down version, just designed to showcase her incredible talent

  46. M.... ....

    i don't know how to feel abou t this song...I love her vocals on it and only Rachel could sing this ballad so sweetly, but even though they try to be original on GLEE with arrangements, I think they took too much out..its much more powerful with the background vocals and melodies BUT to sing it like this also makes it quietly powerful and passionate..so i am about 50/50 on this one.. ?

  47. K.... P....

    I heard this song in Napolean Dynamite of all things

    K.... P....

    lol that's all I could think about 😂😂😂

  48. k.... ....

    Simply beautiful! I love these solos sing by her! ♥

  49. B.... S....

    Perfection....

  50. e.... ....

    Love the song and love Lea singing this, but this is a terrible arrangement. Part of what makes this song amazing are the harmonies and it's been completely wiped away.

    e.... ....

    Bette Midler sang this song first, all by herself.

  51. V.... P....

    I love this song!!!

    V.... P....

    Vico me encanto, que hermosa voz, y la melodía te invita a tener mucha paz

    V.... P....

    Sí, y la letra es sumamente conmovedora.

    V.... P....

    Voy a buscar la leyra
