The Dance

I once told someone special in my life that we seem to do this "dance" together. More or less we fall back in "to" each other, in some ways comfortably and in others not so much. But for many years that's the way it was.

As I was driving to my destination today, this came on the radio and nostaglia overwhelmed me.

Written by Garth Brooks, who as you can see is in the photo with me, it says it all so beautifully.







(Go easy on me now, this photo was taken 1993-4ish when I worked for a country music station, the hat I like, the shirt not so much)

"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 of 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 of had to miss the dance

Yes my life is better left to chance

I could have missed the pain

but I'd of had to miss the dance
