Текст песни Garth Brooks - The Dance

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