Disclaimer: Own nothing, song is "The Dance" by Garth Brooks
It was a rainy Sunday as Landon read the paper with the radio playing in the background. It had been twelve years since she had passed. He missed her and would always love her, but he had moved passed the hurting as he continued to read her Bible every day. As he read the paper though he wasn't thinking about her, he was thinking about his job and the news of the world, that was until a song came on the radio, the radio he had been barely listening to, until now.
Looking back on the memory of
The dance we shared 'neath the stars alone
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
The song said how he was before she had told him that she had cancer and maybe a little afterwards. He knew that if he had never gone out with her, never fallen in love, he would have never gone through the pain of losing her, but if he hadn't he would have never known what it was like to be truly in love, he probably would still be messed up today if he hadn't been with her.
