The Dance - Garth Brooks


This song was played today at Dan Roettjer's funeral (June 11, 1955 - November 12, 2005 )
This post is in memory of him

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 chanced 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

Burn - Usher


I don't understand why
See it's burning me to hold onto this
I know this is something I gotta do
But that don't mean I want to
What I'm trying to say is that
I-love-you
I just I feel like this is coming to an end
And it's better for me to let it go now than hold on and hurt you
I gotta let it burn

[Verse 1]
You see it's burnin' for me to say this
But it's comin from my heart
Its been a long time comin but we done been fell apart
I really wanna work it out
But I don't think you're gonna change
I do but you don't
Think it's best we go our separate ways
Tell me why I should stay in this relationship
When I'm hurtin' baby,
I ain't happy baby
Cuz there's so many other things I gotta deal with
I think that you should let it burn

[Chorus]
When the feeling ain't the same
and your body don't want to but you know,
gotta let it go cuz
the party ain't jumpin' like it used to
Even though this might bruise you
Let it burn Let it burn
Gotta let it burn
Deep down you know it's best for yourself but you
Hate the thought of her being with someone else
But you know that it's over
We know that its true
Let it burn Let it burn
Gotta Let it burn

[Verse 2]
Saying things I ain't supposed to
Got somebody else but I want you
Cause the feelin ain't the same find myself
Callin' her your name
Ladys tell me do you understand?
And all my fellas do you feel my pain?
It's the way I feel I know I made a mistake
Now it's too late I know she ain't comin back
What I gotta do now now
To get my shorty back
Ooo ooo ooo ooooh
Man I don't know what I'm gonna do
Without my boo
She's been gone for too long
It's been fifty-leven days,
umpteen hours
Im'a be burnin' till you return

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
I'm twisted cuz one side of me is tellin' me
that I need to move on
On the other side
I wanna break down and cry (ooooh)
I'm twisted cuz one side of me is tellin' me that
I need to move on On the other side I wanna break down and cry (cry) [
[Chorus]
