It's strange how you can listen to a song a bazillion times and not really listen to the words. As I was reading Lisa's blog today, I was reminded of one of my favorite Garth Brooks' songs, The Dance. The tears that I have not experienced in the past week or so definitely worked their way out while listening to the song a couple of times.
Thank you Lisa for bringing those tears out!

The Dance lyrics
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 have 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 have had to miss the dance
Yes my life is better left to chance
I could have missed the pain but I'd have had to miss the dance
(Here is one of the few videos on YouTube with Garth Brooks actually singing the song.)
I have always loved this song. I never thought that it would be something that I could relate to so strongly. But now I feel like it's become my guide for life. I'm glad that it resonated with you too. And thanks for the blog shout-out.
