Garth Brooks' "The Dance"

Wow, my post is late today. Sorry! I have been talking about dreams and life challenges, so immediately thought about Garth Brooks' song "The Dance." I listened to country music in high school, and this one was my favorite. It still strikes a chord with me, even though my music interests have changed. I think it's because the message resonates with me. Life can suck at times, but it all makes up a fantastic ride.

"The Dance"
By Garth Brooks

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
