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 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 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 dance we shared 'neath the stars above

I wouldn't have traded our amazing 42-year run of love to keep me from the grief journey for anything this world has to offer. During those years, a woman, wife, and mother emerged from a love-struck pup at the age of 17. No amount of relief from this gut-wrenching journey would be worth replacing those years of love, struggle, and our safe haven for a thriving family. Nope, I guess you can call me twinkle toes, because I LOVED the dance! Blessings to you. TJ
I recall the pain being so intense that I actually thought to myself that maybe my life would have been better or less painful had I never met my husband. That's when you begin to realize you wouldn't trade that for all the gold in the world. Yes, it is worth the pain. We are here to enjoy the dance of life not knowing when or how it will end. It will however, end at some point.
you are right, for me it was how appropriate for how I've been
feeling.....seems my Jim speaks to me everyday ... this song says
alot.....
I thought to myself, how wonderful the dance was for me with my Jeff. And Jeff did know that the dance was about over and tried to tell me.
I have been so blessed to have been loved by this man. I don't know how anyone would ever be able to get me to "dance" again in my lifetime. I had the best dance partner ever!
