"The Dance"

-Garth Brooks-

Looking back on the memory of 

The dance we shared 'neath the stars above 

For a moment all the world was right 

How could I have known that 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 had to miss the dance 

Holding you I held everything 

For a moment wasn't I a 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 had to miss the dance 

Yes my life is better left to chance 

I could have missed the pain but I'd had to miss the dance
