[00:00.00] The Dance
[00:06.00] Westlife
[00:08.00]
[00:10.43]
[00:18.28] Shane:
[00:18.39] Looking back
[00:21.84] on the memory of
[00:25.97] the dance we shared
[00:29.23] 'neath the stars above.
[00:33.14] For a moment
[00:37.06] all the world was right.
[00:40.82] How could I have known
[00:44.73] that you'd ever say goodbye
[00:48.88] Shane(All):
[00:48.98] And now
[00:50.79] I'm glad I didn't know
[00:55.20] The way it all would end
[00:58.77] the way it all would go
[01:04.04] Our lives
[01:06.11] are better left to chance
[01:10.21] I could have missed the pain.
[01:14.04] But I'd of had to miss
[01:17.45] The Dance.
[01:21.80]
[01:26.88] Mark:
[01:26.98] Holding you
[01:30.41] I held everything
[01:34.53] For a moment
[01:37.74] wasn't I a king
[01:41.88] But if I'd only known
[01:45.67] how the king would fall
[01:49.68] Hey who's to say
[01:53.28] you know I might have changed it all
[01:57.23] Shane(All):
[01:57.43] And now
[02:00.00] I'm glad I didn't know
[02:03.60] The way it all would end
[02:07.63] the way it all would go
[02:12.78] Our lives
[02:14.88] are better left to chance
[02:18.38] I could have missed the pain.
[02:22.72] But I'd of had to miss
[02:26.40] The Dance.
[02:30.49]
[02:42.90] Mark(All):
[02:43.10] And now
[02:45.67] I'm glad I didn't know
[02:49.41] The way it all would end
[02:52.87] the way it all would go
[02:58.40] Our lives
[03:00.56] are better left to chance
[03:04.45] I could have missed the pain.
[03:08.45] But I'd of had to miss
[03:11.78] The Dance.
[03:16.50] Shane:
[03:16.56] Yes my life
[03:19.69] is better left to chance
[03:23.55] I could have missed the pain
[03:27.38] but I'd of had to miss
[03:30.85] The Dance.
[03:37.25]
