Ai wa hana, kimi wa sono tane

Every time I watch this, I start crying.

As far as I know, the lyrics posted here are the english ones, and not a translation of the japanese lyrics. But these lyrics are perfect to me, and they fit the melody and I just love them.

~

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 learns to dance
it's the dream, afraid of waking
that never takes a 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
