Singalong! Kiss from a Rose by Seal

When I was young and taking ballet classes, the group one level above me did a dance to this song in our year-end recital and I was SO JEALOUS. They got props and everything! (Roses, obviously.) The next year I was bumped up to join that group, but it was too late, I missed out on the fun.

KISS FROM A ROSE

by Seal

There used to be a graying tower alone on the sea

You became the light on the dark side of me

Love remained a drug that's the high and not the pill

But did you know that when it snows

My eyes become large and

The light that you shine can't be seen?

[Chorus]

Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the gray

Ooh, the more I get of you, the stranger it feels, yeah

And now that your rose is in bloom

A light hits the gloom on the gray

There is so much a man can tell you

So much he can say

You remain my power, my pleasure, my pain, baby

To me you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny

Won't you tell me is that healthy, baby?

But did you know that when it snows

My eyes become large and

The light that you shine can't be seen?

Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the gray

Ooh, the more I get of you, the stranger it feels, yeah

And now that your rose is in bloom

A light hits the gloom on the gray

I've been kissed by a rose on the gray

I, I've been kissed by a rose on the gray

I've ... (and if I should fall along the way) ... been kissed by a rose on the gray

I, I've been kissed by a rose on the gray

There is so much a man can tell you

So much he can say

You remain my power, my pleasure, my pain

To me you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny, yeah

Won't you tell me is that healthy, baby?

But did you know that when it snows

My eyes become large and

The light that you shine can't be seen?

Baby, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the gray

Ooh, the more I get of you, the stranger it feels, yeah

And now that your rose is in bloom

A light hits the gloom on the gray

Yes, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the gray

Ooh, the more I get of you, the stranger it feels, yeah

And now that your rose is in bloom

A light hits the gloom on the gray

Now that your rose is in bloom

A light hits the gloom on the gray
