The Dance

[Verse 1] The DJ playin' us some crazy songs But we still dance along, hopin' that it carries on When I met her I ain't wanna let her in my heart Cause I was facin' twenty-five, goodbye's so fuckin' hard I let go an let God, was lighter than a feather We beat the case together, told you that the dust would settle Never say never, the world is at our finger tips Every day's a holiday so I bring her gifts Try to design her, dress her in designer She told me that the finer things never would define her Just wanted to let her sit back, chill, recliner Never wanted to let the tears smear her eyeliner [Hook: Garth] And 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've missed the pain But I'd've had to miss the dance [Verse 2] Remember that dance on the boat on the river Passing the city, under the bridge, I proposed I still remember your glow I still remember that song, how's it go I still remember the kiss we kissed under the mistletoe (oh) I still remember that blue dress on the waterfall Where we took our vows, I can recall it all Like it was yesterday, yeah some of the best of days Just let the record play, let's dance the stress away Cause i'd be blessed to stay, because i'm blessed to say My sin was not writin' this sooner, I confessed today Let's put the rest away, but bring the past with us We gotta smile to keep from cryin' so let 'em laugh with us [Hook: Garth] And 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've missed the pain But I'd've had to miss the dance [Verse 3] The pictures flash before my teary eyes I didn't know before but now i understand So clearly why, why we met an fell so deep in love An why we still danced in the rain even though our feet were stuck in mud And why I'm at a peaceful place with this fed case They tryna' take my life this time, no time to waste So incase just hold me tight and lets slow waltz No pointin' fingers no regrets, uh-uh, no faults Cause they can throw salt, we add flour an make bread I'll have to charge it to the game, I hope they take lead Regardless they can't take the memories that we have We gotta smile to keep from cryin' so this time we laugh [Hook: Garth] And 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've missed the pain But I'd've had to miss the dancee
