Letra de
The Dance

A música The Dance foi escrita por Tony Arata e ficou famosa na voz de Garth Brooks. Arata se inspirou na ideia de que as dores vividas muitas vezes nos levam a momentos de grande felicidade, uma reflexão sobre o valor das experiências vividas, independentemente dos seus resultados. A letra fala sobre não ter arrependimentos pelas dores passadas, pois elas são parte da jornada que nos leva até os momentos felizes.

Lookin back on the mem'ry 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 good bye

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 the king?
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
Yes my life, it's better left to chance
I could have have missed the pain,
but I'd have had to miss the dance
