Lyrics:

(Tony Arata)
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
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 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
CHORUS
It's my life is better left to chance
I could have missed the pain but I'd of had to miss the dance
Garth Brooks The Dance
