玫瑰的回忆

从芙蓉活动回来，收音机播出了一首很久没有听到，又很喜欢的一首歌——the rose。 Bette Midler 先把这首歌唱红，然后台湾的齐豫和林忆莲也翻唱了这首歌，到最后Westlife 又再次把这首歌唱得冲上英国排行榜的榜首。还是喜欢Bette Mdiler 的版本，可能是先入为主的关系吧？ 对Westlife唱的版本印象比较深，因为当时我正收拾包袱准备回国，有时会与Nick 一起在星期天去郊游，然后再回家时，车上一定是播着Radio 1 的排行榜节目。就一直听，一直听，到我回到马来西亚为止。 喜欢这首歌的歌词，喜欢它那浪漫的旋律。

Some say love it is a river that drowns the tender reed Some say love it is a razer that leaves your soul to blead 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 the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance It's the dream afraid of waking that never takes the chance It's the one who won't be taken who cannot 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 the spring becomes the rose
