I posted this on Facebook, but I'll post it here, too. This reminds me of a story my mom told me. My dad was on the transplant list for a lung. At one point, he asked my mom what she wanted to do once he got the transplant. Offhandedly, she said she wanted to go dancing. My dad died before he could get the transplant. When I hear this song, even though it's only one person singing, I imagine the first verse is my mom and the second verse is my dad. On what would have been my dad's 57th birthday, I remind you to sign up to be an organ donor. http://youtu.be/OoBc5mivzns Looking back on the memory of The dance we shared beneath the stars above For a moment all the world was right How could I have known 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 the 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
