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
