The Dance

By Garth Brooks

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
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 chance
I could've missed the pain
But I'd had to miss the dance

Holding I held everything
For a moment wasn't I a king
If I'd only known
How the king would fall
Hey whose to say
You know I might have changed it all

And now I'm glad I didn't know the line
The way it all would end
The way it all would go

Our lives are better left chance
I could've missed the pain
But I'd had to miss the dance

Yes my life is better left to chance
I couldn've missed the pain
But I'd had to miss the dance
