Lyrics: The Dance
Album: Double Live
Artist: Garth Brooks
 

Looking back on the memory of
The dance we shared ‘neath the stars alone
For a moment all the world was right
How could i have known that you’d ever say goodbye

(chorus)
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 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

*chorus*
Yes my life is better left to chance
I could have missed the pain but i’d of had to miss the dance.
