The Dance

Garth Brooks · The Ultimate Hits [2007]

Lookin' back,

On the memory of

The dance we shared,

(be)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'da 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'da had to miss the dance



It's my life,

It's better left to chance

I could have missed the pain

But I'da had to miss,

The dance
