| Song | The Rose |
| Artist | Nana Mouskouri |
| Album | The Essential |
| [00:07.01] | Some say love it is a river |
| [00:14.48] | That drowns the tender reed |
| [00:21.58] | Some say love it is a razor |
| [00:29.38] | That leaves your soul to bleed |
| [00:36.56] | Some say love it is a hunger |
| [00:44.63] | An endless, aching need |
| [00:51.94] | I say love it is a flower |
| [01:00.31] | And you it's only seed |
| [01:11.79] | It's the heart afraid of breaking |
| [01:18.88] | That never learns to dance |
| [01:25.35] | It's the dream afraid of waking |
| [01:32.67] | That never takes the chance |
| [01:39.11] | It's the one who won't be taken |
| [01:46.57] | Who cannot seem to give |
| [01:53.19] | And the soul afraid of dying |
| [02:00.61] | That never learns to live |
| [02:11.22] | When the night has been too lonely |
| [02:17.90] | And the road has been too long |
| [02:24.41] | And you think that love is only |
| [02:31.27] | For the lucky and the strong |
| [02:37.96] | Just remember in the winter |
| [02:44.90] | Far beneath the bitter snow |
| [02:52.19] | Lies the seed that with the sun's love |
| [03:01.16] | In the spring, becomes the rose… |
| [00:07.01] | Some say love it is a river |
