The Rose

'Some say love it is a river
that drowns the tender reed
Some say love is it 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 is all the seed

Is the heart afraid of breaking
that never learns to dance
Is the dream afraid of waking
that never takes the chance
Is the one 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 to 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 snow
Like the seed that with the suns love
in the spring becomes The Rose. ' ~ By Bette Midler

Touching.

They don't write songs like that anymore.

Everything these days is all about , money, fame , sex and grind.

Hit the Jackpot!

Jackpot! The Best Bette (know as The Best Bette in Europe) is a compilation album of recordings by American singer Bette Midler.

The album release was originally set to coincide with Midler's current Las Vegas show, Bette Midler: The Showgirl Must Go On which debuted on February 20, 2008 at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace

, but was postponed to an international September release.


After some thirty-five years in showbusiness and having recorded some twenty albums this is the second single-disc compilation of Midler's best-known recordings, following 1993/1996's Experience the Divine.

Jackpot! The Best Bette includes three titles from Midler's more recent albums for Columbia, "This Ole House", "Tenderly" and "Cool Yule", and also sees the debut of one previously unreleased track, "Something Your Heart's Been Telling Me", co-written by Midler, Robert Kraft and Barry Reynolds and originally cut as a demo by the singer herself in 1984 but first released by Roberta Flack who recorded the song for her 1991 album Set the Night to Music.~ Wiki-ed.
