The Dance - Lyrics - Garth Brooks

Troyal Garth Brooks is an American country music singer and songwriter. His eponymous first album was released in 1989 and peaked at number 2 in the US country album chart while climbing to number 13 on the Billboard 200 album chart. Brooks' integration of rock elements into his recordings and live performances earned him immense popularity. This progressive approach allowed him to dominate the country single and album charts while crossing over into the mainstream pop arena.

Lookin' back On the memory of The dance we shared Beneath the stars above And for a moment All the world was right But 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 And 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 Yes my life It's better left to chance I could've missed the pain But I'da had to miss The dance
