The Dance
written by Garth Brooks
performed by Westlife

Looking back on the memory of
The dance we shared beneath the stars above
And 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

 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

It's my life, it's better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I’d have had to miss the dance
