《The Rose》是一首傳唱了幾十載的經典老歌，不知不覺飄進你我心裡。愛就是一朵花，只要心中播種希望，春天來臨時定有馨香玫瑰綻放。想送給你，讓我們心懷玫瑰，聆聽天籟般的歌聲，默記富含哲理的詞句“Lies the seed that with the sun's love，In the spring becomes the rose”。
it is a river 愛是一條河 that drowns the tender reed 會淹沒輕柔的蘆葦 some say love 有人說
it is a razor 愛是一把剃刀 that leaves your soul to bleed 讓你的靈魂流血
some say love 有人說
it is a hunger 愛是一種焦渴 an endless aching need 一種無盡的帶痛渴求 i say love 而我說
it is a flower 愛是一朵花
and you , its only seed 而你 則是唯一的種子
(break)
it's the heart afraid of breaking 如果心兒害怕破碎
that never learns to dance 就永遠無法學會起舞
it's the dream afraid of waking 如果害怕從美夢中醒來
that never takes the chance 就永遠也抓不住機會
it's the one who won't be taken 一個人如果不願被索取
who can not seem to give 貌似也不會給予 and the soul afraid of dying 如果靈魂害怕死去
that never learns to live 就永遠學不會怎么去活
(break)
when the night has been too lonely 當夜晚太過寂寞
and the road has been too long 當前路太過遙遠
and you think 或者當你認為
that love is only for the lucky and the strong 只有幸運者和強者才有資格得到愛的時候
just remember in the winter 你要記得
far beneath the bitter snow 在厚厚的積雪底下
lies the seed 一顆種子一直都在那裡躺著
that with the sun's love 等陽光灑下
in the spring becomes the rose 春天裡，它會綻放成最美的玫瑰

2008年3月，《The Rose》重新被Aoi 翻唱並收錄在了她的新專輯【The Rose ～I Love Cinemas～】中，這個版本的《The Rose》，Aoi 的聲音清澈、透明，又仿佛帶著紅酒的醇香；寂靜的夜晚，沉下心來，靜靜聆聽，歌聲是如此的乾淨，仿佛清晨淡淡的霧氣拂過你的臉頰，如此的溫柔，極具治癒心靈的效果。
