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
