The Dance Lyrics

Artist: Garth Brooks
Album: Double Live Disc 2

Looking back on the memory of
The dance we shared beneath the stars above
For a moment all the world was right
How could I have known you'd ever say goodbye
And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance
Holding you I held everything
For a moment wasn't I the king
But if I'd only known how the king would fall
Hey who's to say you know I might have changed it all
And now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance
Yes my life is better left to chance
I could have missed the pain but I'd of had to miss the dance

I heard this song on the radio tonight and it makes me think of my sweetheart that got away many years ago. He will always have a special place in my heart. I hope we get a chance to dance just one more time, this time I hope the dance lasts forever.

This song is so beautiful. I cant imagine anyone but Garth singing it, either. It's insanely meaningful and I love it.
