I'm sorry for your loss of your daughter. I hope listening to this song will be a comfort and know your daughter is at peace and smiling down on you in heaven. Peace be with you and your family.🙏
I’m so so sorry for your loss. Unless you lose a child you cannot understand the pain. My stepdaughter passed. She was beautiful. My husband and I are raising her daughter. We got her at 10 mos old and she’s now 10 years old. Both feel like my biological children.
In 1992 I was a Marine stationed on Okinawa, Japan for 12 months at my first duty station. My roomy, Mathew was a white kid from Fremont, Ohio and I was a black kid from Bronx, NY (by way of Trinidad). He would play country music and watch NASCAR every chance he got. I was going crazy. Garth Brooks was his favorite. Then he started listening to Reggae and R&B (just a little). My son was born while I was overseas, Mathew is the one who told me I had a boy because my leg was broken and I couldn't get to the Duty phone on the 4th deck (floor) of our barracks. Mathew was also at my side during the funeral service for my son 29 years later. Music.
This was the song my daughter chose for the father-daughter dance at her wedding. She got cancer and passed away 2 years later. I can't believe how fitting and prophetic the lyrics are. I break into tears every time I hear it STILL, after 16 years.
One of my daughter's songs at her wedding in Nov 2005, she passed May 2009. I saw her so beautiful dancing to this song, one of my so many great memories. God bless all.
I recently lost a Woman that I had a Relationship with not once but twice. This song takes me back to that relationship. I could 've missed the pain but I'd have to miss the Dance.
Going through separation. Next divorce. This hits hard, but to be honest the dance I had was done from the start. 33 years down the drain. Wish I could go back. Been selfish to never have said I was with child. I endured emotional, and physical abuse for too long.
My dad was a huge Garth fan. He performed this song countless times. I had it played at his funeral. I come here and listen to this to feel like he's here with me. It's such a beautiful song.
He is with you sweetheart . . With a special place in heaven along with God. God will have a heaven with everything your heart wants. I don’t say this by Faith alone but because he blessed me with a glimpse of what’s to come in the hereafter. P.S We will be able to fly too !! Heaven is the epitome of Gods GLORY . . SHEKINAH GLORY
I love listening to these country songs from all these great country singers… I’ve been a lover of country songs from my childhood cuz I grew up listening to them. I guess you’re a country musician lover??
@henryscrabby5690 I do like some country music, yes. The new country music that is out today I don't listen to or even like. I like the "old school". Lol.

This is my song to my daughters father. He passed away in 2017. We have a beautiful 17 year old daughter. We got pregnant 2 months after meeting. Not a day goes by I don’t think if him. Thank you Steven for giving me the best part of you. You were my best friend! I love you forever! ❤
every time i hear this song it reminds me of the only time i ever saw my mom and dad slow dance.they are gone now but the memories are so clear.thank you Lord for giving them to me for 64 years
Love thy parents as they are only here for so long. Thank you for that comment. Gratitude for your parents and all they do and sacrifice for there kids to have a better life than they did 🙏🏻
A friend sang this while we were gathered around my husband in hospice. He lost his battle with cancer two days later. Always loved this song, but it’s even more special now, because it reminds me of him.
I used to have a copy of Garth Brooks first album on CD, with this song on it. On the back of the CÐ, it states that "The Dance" was voted "The greatest country song ever recorded!" I know the pain of loss, like everyone else. This song hits home!
My little sister is the biggest Garth Brooks fan I’ve ever known. She knows every word to every song he ever released. She entered into hospice assisted care 2 nights ago fighting her battle with cancer. Tonight I lie awake with her on my heart as she continues her battle with terminal breast cancer. This is her favorite song. She’s wise beyond her 38 years to choose this as her favorite song. No more poignant words have ever been spoken; I could have missed the pain, but I’da have to miss the dance. I love you sis.
I'm so sorry about your sister. I lost my at the age of thirty. She was my best friend. I am crying right now thinking of her. I am in a time in my life where I am struggling. I need her and I don't have my best friend to talk to.
@@jenniferpowell7255 my condolences to you, Jennifer. Losing the ones we love is never easy. It leaves a hole in our hearts that can never quite be filled. Your sister is at peace and I pray that you will find peace as well. All my love
We played this at my cousin's funeral last year it's brings tears every time I hear it, he was my age 43 he was texting his wife and ran into oncoming traffic head on with a semi truck, gone in a second 💔 please put the phone down on the road. Be safe everyone 🙏 ❤️
Thank you for sharing that Adam I’m very sorry for your loss. One of my best friends died 11 years ago the exact same way texting her boss telling her she was going to be late to work that night and was speeding going nearly 100mph and lost control of her car and wasn’t wearing her seat belt not that it would have helped and was ejected through the windshield and killed instantly so I am with you on the put the phone down while driving thing.
My condolences, but you are right. Absolutely right, it only takes one second. Many blessings to you, but understand, he is in Gods care now, hes alright, and you will see him again one day. He just moved to a better place.

I'm not a Country music fan,but this is definitely one of the most touching and symbolic songs ever written. If it doesn't hit you with tears,its because you've probably never felt a powerful loss in your life or you're not in tune with life and your heart.
I think of my parents when I hear this. I was adopted by 2 of the best parents I could of had!! I love and miss you both so much. I'll see you again in heaven
@@ronbridges678 years ago I was told that there's a special place in heaven for parents that adopt a child. We adopted our daughter the day after she was born and she's truly a gift from God. I have mad respect for your parents, and i hope for my wife and myself to have that impact on our daughter's life as your parents have had on yours.
Lost my husband of 22 year's recently I miss him something awful but glad he's not suffering any longer. I'm grateful for those 22 year's! He made me so happy and whole. Now I'm feeling lost and lonely. They tell me time heals just feels like a black hole getting bigger. I don't wanna go anywhere or do anything as we were always together. I don't feel right going into the world without my love. I go to work but only because the bills keep rolling in. If not for that I'd never leave the house. I'm grateful for the time we had but doesn't stop me from wanting more. I'm grateful for the dance.
My husband and mines song. We've been scared, stupid teenagers together. Homeless and hardly surviving, to 14 years later we're all grown up with a family of our own. And this song is such a hallmark moment in our lives.
This song hits me differently since I lost the love of my life to suicide. I would have never missed the dance with you Scott despite the pain I feel without you. Love you forever.
I was 7 years old. My dad never came home from work. A drunk driver hit him head on. This song was played at his funeral. RIP Carl Phillip Wathen. August 8th 1960--April 12th, 1992.
I can't listen to Garth Brooks without crying it makes me think of me and my Dad riding around when I was a young girl 12-13 years old and we would listen to the whole album. I lost him to a heart attack in 2011
Speaking from a father's point of view Bugs, what you said was probably the happiest part of your daddy's life. The little things matter more when we are with our babies like that.
Sorry for your loss in 2011. Garth Brooks sings this song beautifully. It's tough to listen to when you've lost someone, but it can help ease your pain. I've found
Same here, my dad passed away when I was 13. We would always listen to Garth Brooks during car rides before we went on the best adventures. His music can’t help but make me cry and smile all together. I feel you ♥️♥️
When This song came out I instantly loved it. Now, as a widower of 10 years, it still touches my heart and soul. I would not have missed my dance with Don for anything. Love you Garth
My sister fighting cancer one day we spend time with that will forever be etched in our hearts. She wanted to listen to music. She danced with her children. This song came on when then she asked my brother to dance with her. They danced the whole song. She rested her head on our brother’s shoulder/chest area like that’s where she just wanted to feel comfort & that she got for the rest of the song. My brother gave her comfort that her idiot husband wouldn’t give her. He was to busy starting to replace her. Her family her core family will never replace her. She’ll forever be missed. She took a piece of all our heart with her. We love you sis more than words can say. ❤
I’m sorry about your loss, I know how bad it feels to lose someone you love cuz I lost my other half five years ago 😢 I love the song myself and it’s does help cheer me up. I guess you’re a country music lover??
This was the father daughter dance at my girls wedding. Every time I hear it it brings back those memories. People were in tears while we were dancing. Lots of deep meaning.
My best friend watched me marry another man, I didn't know he was in love with me. My ex walked out the door and my best friend walked in and said I've been so in love with you for so long. Said this song came on one day after I'd gotten married and he felt every word. We got married and had 2 amazing babies. Now I listen to this song alone, he was killed in a car accident 10/10 turning into our driveway on our son's 6th birthday. I miss you j so much, I'll tell our love story with my every breath
I worked as the forklift driver for two weeks at the texas stadium in the early nineties for mr brooks. He would jump on my fork and ask me to to take him whereever. I was the last person to drop him off at his bus on the final night. I love this man. Met his father his mother and had a smoke with his sister. When the trellis fell garth showed up with mr mcbride. I was in the stands he was wearing a george strait hat and gym shorts and saw heard garth say: “when will enough be enough. That’s when I knew this man was the real deal, and I will always love him for his care for humankind. He visited the hospital of the injured people. I was not one of them. His love for mankind will always resonate with me in my heart. I love this man as a brother from another mother.
U should also look @ some of the amazing humanitarian acts some other great men R doing all in the name of Humanitarian MrTrump & MrMusk, Mr Snowden, Mr Assange, please don’t take as sarcasm just wondering if U know of them?stay in peace 🕊️
It breaks my heart for you. Your pain is raw and words don't begin to help. "Kelly", please know you are in my prayers. Take care of yourself, that's what she would want.
2024, still play this all the time. Reminds me of my mom and how I said goodbye to her that morning. The weeks leading up to her passing were some of the best we had ever had.
I love listening to these country songs from all these great country singers… I’ve been a lover of country songs from my childhood cuz I grew up listening to them. I guess you’re a country musician lover??
So many people in life dint realize just hope short an special life is. The people we love an we hold close to our heart can be gone in a blink of an eye. Always tell the ones you live HOW MUCH YOU DO LOVE THEM EVEN IF THEY KNOW ,ITS ALWAYS GREAT TO HEAR THE WORDS "U LIVE YOU TOO❤"
This song helps me to "heal from miscarriage" from 20 years ago. At that time I had been married 13 years and no kids. I felt a bad joke on me! My heart still breaks even though I had a girl in my 14th year and a son in my 16th year. Your heart still breaks for the child you never got to hold and see grow up!
I thank all those who replied to my grief. I still would like to hold my daughter. Here is a true fact: when I lost my daughter, my cousin who was 2 years younger than me asked if she could name her daughter after the one I lost! I was so HAPPY and felt she considered my feelings of loss and I said of course. The irony of the whole matter is my cousin died on my birthday 2 years ago! 😥
@@reddwine1899 BLESS YOU FOR YOUR KIND REPLY! I have been feeling guilty for 20 years because when I lost the baby inside of me @ 18 weeks, I was the only one who could feed and nourish her! It helps us mother's to heal to know that we are NOT alone in losing our child!
my condolences from south america... they are angels watching us, dont be sad because you are never alone with them in your heart as cliche as it sounds its true... sending hugs and blessings
I lost my twin and play this song all the time It reminds me of my painful loss and so thankful I didn’t know when I would lose him. I couldn’t have bared it. Thankful for having such a loving brother to go through life with! The pain is the price for having had such a bond with him!
I'm grateful for every encounter I've had in my life no matter how bad or tragic they ended up being for every person I ever met taught me something very special or gave me great memories because that's what's all about his lessons and memories that's the only thing you carry with you everything else can be taken away
Oh, wow… I’m sorry about you loss 😢 I lost my partner 5 years ago and this was also her favorite song. I love country songs cuz I grew up listening to them. I guess you’re also a country musician lover??
Feel for ya, I lost my father n younger Bro n listen til this songs brings memories n emotions out that I've forgot time to time.. Sorry for ur loss but if this song brings u close to him or emotional happy u go for it, listen piece advice friend told me long time ago.... Its up to u weather ur happy or sad n honestly it's true, this song makes u happy n life too short not to b... From the UK 🇬🇧
My grandma went Home two days ago, I’m playing this at her funeral. 😭😭 my world seems to have fallen apart. I love you and I will find you and grandpa to have a dance
This played at my grandmas funeral in 2017. I still listen quite regularly to this day… It doesn’t get easier but I understand your pain. She’s with my grandpa now and so is yours ❤️
Thank you so much, Maria! Your kind words are like a warm hug and they make me feel so appreciated. Keep on listening and I'll keep on making music from the heart. And sorry about your son
Thank you so much, Kim! Your kind words are like a warm hug and they make me feel so appreciated. Keep on listening and I'll keep on making music from the heart.
I believe it's because in today's day many people choose to not participate in the Dance of life so there isn't any love or sorrow to write it out of their souls& in turn help others with these beautiful lyrics
I lost my wife of 42 years in January this song is everything to me because it describes the life we shared through good and bad ill always love you Jerrie.
The first time I heard this song, a very special relationship had just ended. My 12 year old son was seated next to me in the car as it played. I felt every word and somehow I knew he did, too. Fast forward 13 years. It wasn't long after that break up that I did meet 'him.' We were married and while we raised are 3 combined children (and adopted a fourth), good and bad happened, but we were so glad we were together. I think my son and his daughter did better in life because of it. Unfortunately, he had contracted Interstatial Lung disease where he worked. After 20 months of difficult, painful bouts, he died only a few months after our 11th anniversary and our fourth child's graduation. It has taken years (20) to get where I'm at. This song takes me back, and makes me glad that original dance had ended.
I truly wish that the writer of this song knew how a whole FAMILY could be written out and you stand alone totally lost, broke alone. Holding in to threads for life.
I have a lot of trauma due to losing people & from others things& reading all these stories break BREAK MY HEART!!! It shows you 1 POWERFUL THING IS THAT, to me, music has saved me so many times& gotten me through when I never thought I’d get back up& it does that for all of us!!! That’s a beautiful thing!!! It helps us cope heal, feel& whatever we need it’s there!!! My thoughts& prayers are with ALLLL of you in pain& suffering & I’m so sorry for each of you individually, I’m sorry for your pain, I pray you will see the sun again& take it day by day& I wish healing on all of you!!! God bless
this song has so many meanings to it. I played it at my moms celebration of life. She was the one who talked me into going to my senior prom even though i didnt want to, we lost a classmate the night before prom. but my mom told me this is your last dance you will get no more. then the last song at my prom was this song.
I am crying 😢 my eyes out. I just read the obituary of a close friend from college. I dedicate this song to Belinda I will forever remember you. Rest In Peace my love ❤😢
I miss the original video. It brings me back to an earlier time. It first reminds me of the relationship I had with my father and the video images of John Wayne take me back because my father admired him and actually looked like him. The song also reminds me of my precious daughter who I lost at an early age. Yes, "I could have missed the pain" but looking back, I would have never missed the dance. Love you Amber.
This song made me start believing Country music was great again when I was a teen listening to rock and was thinking I knew everything and glad and thankful I had parents who taught me to love a variety of music. No one can dispute the beauty of this song and genius of it. Thanks for keeping it Country y’all.
We never know when it will be the last time we see our loved ones. Let the little things go and love your family. You never know when that opportunity may be gone.
Our family just lost a beautiful young soul at the tender age of 19. Lost tragically in a motorcycle accident. This song came on the radio on our way down to the funeral. It is a beautiful reminder to enjoy every moment with the ones you love.
My favorite song of all time hands down nothing else even comes close. The most powerful song ever written I want this song played at my funeral and a CD of it put in my casket when it’s all over
Garth Brooke's undoubtedly the best country music performer ever. I live in Vegas and went to see him at Caesars Palace best concert I've ever been to. Love him. He's the best!
Thank you so much, Deborah! Your kind words are like a warm hug and they make me feel so appreciated. Keep on listening and I'll keep on making music from the heart.
Hello Dear,❤️❤️❤️ How're you doing? Your comments caught my attention and that is why I am reaching out to you. Your fan love for me warms my heart, Thank you!
[Verse 1] Lookin' 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 that you'd ever say goodbye [Chorus] 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'da had to miss The dance [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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'da had to miss The dance
Lost my brother in 1997. Garth was his favorite..every time Garth comes on the radio I always say hey bubba. I love and miss you and cry so hard I get sick. Every single time. Until I see you again little brother. Save me a spot
As you keep trusting the Lord, He will favour you and elevate you to heights beyond your imagination.... it's been long when I lost my lovely wife her death pains me alot 💔Garth was her favorite too
I remember hearing this song in 1991. My first husband was in military during Desert Storm and there were a series of concerts given for returning military. Garth Brooks and Kathy Mattea were at the Scope in Norfolk< Va.. Great song. Good memories with good friends. God Bless this country. May it Forever Stand till Jesus comes.
I've known as child my children neighbor been always a wonderful man. As we grew older we always talked, hung out, laughing, singing songs and dancing together on his porch or mine. Never said nothing bad about anyone. His energy was felt everywhere. He passed this year day before Easter. I'm truly heart broken 💔 I long hold on to the great memories 🙏❤️💙 I love you ❤️
My mama and I loved listening to this song together. She lost her vision when I was 6 years old. She had a very very tiny bit she could see but it was very hazy. Anyway, she would get her face up so close to the TV to see the official video for the song. Anyone who knows that video, knows how chilling it is to watch while hearing these lyrics. Mamas been gone 21 years this September and I miss her every single day. 😢
@Allie Brooks thank you for reading and responding to my comment!I mean 💯 % every word I said!I wanted to say thank you for your time,God bless you and your family and thank you so much!
@Allie Brooks I have listened to him since the beginning of his career!I used to buy his c.d.'s and my friends would take them,your dad came out when I was in middle to high school!I would wear out songs like that summer,shameless,mama loved papa,rodeo,I still remember how the radio and people tried to make a big deal about his song the thunder rolls because of the subject matter!I mean it was so crazy but I loved The Dance!All my friends would sing That summer!Then your dad got so big but I have only wished I could see him in concert!It has been on my list of things to do since the 90's!I only dream of attending his live performances and hoped one day I could but circumstances and time have not permitted and now it is so hard to get a ticket it isn't fairing so well so I keep my dream alive,hope alive but don't know if it will happen!Your dad is older like me and well maybe before he hangs his hat up I will be able to just one time hear the dance live,that would be the greatest thing I have ever witnessed!That song I listen to every time I lose a love one!Him and G.Strait are my heros of country music,they are the kings of country music!Legends,icon and the best bar none!Your dad comes in first though!He raised me through the years!He has sang me through some major events in my life and through the years has been an extremely huge part of keeping me from going through life's ups and downs alone!That's priceless!I could tell you alot of his songs and stories that weaved there way in my life!Thank you for the question and your time I truly appreciate it!God bless you and your family!I hope my dream comes true,none have but it have to be what God wills!Have a bless day and tell your dad thank you for help raise in me up through the years,I needed that!Things ended up working out alright with his help!
Had the Cd after listening to his voice on the Aviano US air base in northern Italy where I was born and raised and fell in love with country music which is of what I consider REAL deep and meaningful music of the heart. Angela Umbria Italy
This was always one of mine and my late father and grandfathers favorite songs ever. Lost both in the past 2 years and always go back to this just to remember singing it riding down the road. I was classically trained in shool for music and vocal training. And even my late grandmother loved hearing me practice this song. One of the greatest regarless of genre.
This song kills me inside❤ such a great song❤ I did miss that dance,what I'd give to go back to that dance❤ saw Garth brooks in person I cry every time I hear it ❤
I lost my wife of 23 years and our 3 year old son in a house fire on Feb 27th 2023. I'm haunted every minute of the day. I was lucky to have them in my life, but this song nails it completely for me. I remember dancing with her to this when we first starting dating and it takes me back to that moment every time. I miss my family so much🥺🥺🥺
Thank you, I really don't feel like going on, but I have no choice in it. So all I can do is be thankful I got to have them in my life and celebrate their lives for the rest of mine.
I send you my condolences my friend. It's really nice you keep in your heart the love for them for rest of your live. And it is also really nice that sometimes this kind of beautiful songs drive us to moments of deep feeling.
My daughter died in a traffic accident, she was only 23. We played this at her funeral. It breaks my heart every time I hear it..
Dang brah dont blame anything just know ahe safe and waiting we are the ones who are not as free as her stand tall and just k now u will reunite ❤
I’m so, so very sorry for your loss. My ❤ breaks for you.
I'm sorry for your loss of your daughter. I hope listening to this song will be a comfort and know your daughter is at peace and smiling down on you in heaven.
Peace be with you and your family.🙏
I’m so so sorry for your loss. Unless you lose a child you cannot understand the pain. My stepdaughter passed. She was beautiful. My husband and I are raising her daughter. We got her at 10 mos old and she’s now 10 years old. Both feel like my biological children.
@@sheilaeagy3913 that's very cool that you are raising your stepdaughters child as your own. That's stepping up.🙏

Black and white we are the same! Love story!!!
United we stand.
😢 Music is the way
Sorry for your loss.❤❤
Thank you
This was the song my daughter chose for the father-daughter dance at her wedding. She got cancer and passed away 2 years later. I can't believe how fitting and prophetic the lyrics are. I break into tears every time I hear it STILL, after 16 years.
I'm
so sorry
❤
So sorry! Hope you're doing ok
I am so very sorry for your loss. Losing a child has to be the worst loss possible.
One of my daughter's songs at her wedding in Nov 2005, she passed
May 2009. I saw her so beautiful dancing to this song, one of my so many great memories. God bless all.
One of the most beautiful songs ever written. Period. Point blank.
Your so right ❤❤
Simply the best!! ❤
I recently lost a Woman that I had a Relationship with not once but twice. This song takes me back to that relationship. I could 've missed the pain but I'd have to miss the Dance.
I TOLD U ID SHUT UR MOUTH@@robertadams6606

*Timeless*
"I could've missed the pain, but I'd have had to miss the dance". With joy comes sorrow. Such haunting lyrics.
My favorite lyrics. I have cried while this song has played many many times. Tbh.
Wow
So true
I wouldn't want to miss the dance
Going through separation. Next divorce. This hits hard, but to be honest the dance I had was done from the start. 33 years down the drain. Wish I could go back. Been selfish to never have said I was with child. I endured emotional, and physical abuse for too long.
Please remember that nothing lasts forever...enjoy the dance while you're in it. ❤
Wow ain't that the truth 😞😞
❤ so true! Been there
Yes as what seems difficult at the time, in the whole scheme of it all always passes.
What last forever is Jesus love. All you have to do is accept it.. Read the King James Version of the Bible.......
Just found the true meaning of this song when my fur baby died last year
My dad was a huge Garth fan. He performed this song countless times. I had it played at his funeral. I come here and listen to this to feel like he's here with me. It's such a beautiful song.
Sending Love and Hugs REST IN PEACE TO YOUR DAD....AND MY DAD
Jooc.
😢😢😢😢😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
He is with you sweetheart . . With a special place in heaven along with God. God will have a heaven with everything your heart wants. I don’t say this by Faith alone but because he blessed me with a glimpse of what’s to come in the hereafter.
P.S We will be able to fly too !!
Heaven is the epitome of Gods GLORY . . SHEKINAH GLORY
Sending prayers for you ❤
Thank you for being such a beautiful daughter. I miss my wonderful father every day too. God bless you.
"I could have missed the pain, but Id had to miss the dance" My favorite line. ❤🎼🖤

Reading the comment section as the song plays in the background is heartbreaking. You can see how much love and pain there is in losing a loved one.
❤. Sometimes I really need to hear this song. Lost my mom when I was 19. That was 26 years ago and it still hurts
Same here at 19. This song is what pulled me out of it quite magically. Listened on repeat until healed. Could've missed the pain, but.. 🎶

This is my song to my daughters father. He passed away in 2017. We have a beautiful 17 year old daughter. We got pregnant 2 months after meeting. Not a day goes by I don’t think if him. Thank you Steven for giving me the best part of you. You were my best friend! I love you forever! ❤
Hello Ashley
God bless and comfort you. Thanks for doing the right thing.
💐
every time i hear this song it reminds me of the only time i ever saw my mom and dad slow dance.they are gone now but the memories are so clear.thank you Lord for giving them to me for 64 years
You were given a blessing it warms my heart to hear you didn't miss the gift.. thank you for sharing guy..
The true beauty of real gratitude. Thank you
Love thy parents as they are only here for so long. Thank you for that comment. Gratitude for your parents and all they do and sacrifice for there kids to have a better life than they did 🙏🏻
Lost my mom to cancer a few years back. The hardest thing I;'ve ever had to endure. My heart goes out to you bro. Stay strong dude. You got this.
Amen
A friend sang this while we were gathered around my husband in hospice. He lost his battle with cancer two days later. Always loved this song, but it’s even more special now, because it reminds me of him.
One of the greatest songs ever produced. Not only is the poetry great but the melody and music is just beautiful. It’s a classic, no doubt about it.
I used to have a copy of Garth Brooks first album on CD, with this song on it. On the back of the CÐ, it states that "The Dance" was voted "The greatest country song ever recorded!" I know the pain of loss, like everyone else. This song hits home!
anymore
I totally agree with you. 😎❤️✨️
Definitely in my top five songs of all time
Who's still playing this lovely music in 2023??
❤ yes 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
I'm still playing it in 2024
Most good music to listen to ❤
@@dravenguy9341it's January 19th 2024!!🙏🙏
2024 here!! Praise God 🙌🙏 played for my son Matthew's funeral only 25. 2009😭
My little sister is the biggest Garth Brooks fan I’ve ever known. She knows every word to every song he ever released. She entered into hospice assisted care 2 nights ago fighting her battle with cancer. Tonight I lie awake with her on my heart as she continues her battle with terminal breast cancer. This is her favorite song. She’s wise beyond her 38 years to choose this as her favorite song. No more poignant words have ever been spoken; I could have missed the pain, but I’da have to miss the dance. I love you sis.
Sis drew her last breath this morning. No more pain. She’s dancing up in heaven now and we’ll see her again soon
I'm so sorry about your sister. I lost my at the age of thirty. She was my best friend. I am crying right now thinking of her. I am in a time in my life where I am struggling. I need her and I don't have my best friend to talk to.
@@jenniferpowell7255 my condolences to you, Jennifer. Losing the ones we love is never easy. It leaves a hole in our hearts that can never quite be filled. Your sister is at peace and I pray that you will find peace as well. All my love
🙏🙏🙏

We played this at my cousin's funeral last year it's brings tears every time I hear it, he was my age 43 he was texting his wife and ran into oncoming traffic head on with a semi truck, gone in a second 💔 please put the phone down on the road. Be safe everyone 🙏 ❤️
Thank you for sharing that Adam I’m very sorry for your loss. One of my best friends died 11 years ago the exact same way texting her boss telling her she was going to be late to work that night and was speeding going nearly 100mph and lost control of her car and wasn’t wearing her seat belt not that it would have helped and was ejected through the windshield and killed instantly so I am with you on the put the phone down while driving thing.
My condolences, but you are right. Absolutely right, it only takes one second.
Many blessings to you, but understand, he is in Gods care now, hes alright, and you will see him again one day. He just moved to a better place.

I'm not a Country music fan,but this is definitely one of the most touching and symbolic songs ever written. If it doesn't hit you with tears,its because you've probably never felt a powerful loss in your life or you're not in tune with life and your heart.
Yeah, I don’t care for country music either. But there are some country songs that I do like and this is one of them
I think of my parents when I hear this. I was adopted by 2 of the best parents I could of had!! I love and miss you both so much. I'll see you again in heaven
@@ronbridges678 years ago I was told that there's a special place in heaven for parents that adopt a child. We adopted our daughter the day after she was born and she's truly a gift from God. I have mad respect for your parents, and i hope for my wife and myself to have that impact on our daughter's life as your parents have had on yours.
Dance so you can always look back and me waiting too noghing but dance
Same here. I teared up when I heard this song a few weeks ago and got some very specific memories of someone who left my life.
Lost my husband of 22 year's recently I miss him something awful but glad he's not suffering any longer. I'm grateful for those 22 year's! He made me so happy and whole. Now I'm feeling lost and lonely. They tell me time heals just feels like a black hole getting bigger. I don't wanna go anywhere or do anything as we were always together. I don't feel right going into the world without my love. I go to work but only because the bills keep rolling in. If not for that I'd never leave the house. I'm grateful for the time we had but doesn't stop me from wanting more. I'm grateful for the dance.
I am so sorry ❤❤
One of the most powerful songs in Music history
Agree totally song writing at it's finest hour in my opinion
My husband and mines song. We've been scared, stupid teenagers together. Homeless and hardly surviving, to 14 years later we're all grown up with a family of our own. And this song is such a hallmark moment in our lives.
That is awesome! It ain't easy but you did it!
❤
I’m wishing in could end up with your ending 🫂💜♾️💙
This song hits me differently since I lost the love of my life to suicide. I would have never missed the dance with you Scott despite the pain I feel without you. Love you forever.
I’m sorry 😢❤
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I'm sorry for your loss
I’m so sorry. I lost my daughter to suicide in January 💔
@justhere I'm so sorry for your pain
I was 7 years old. My dad never came home from work. A drunk driver hit him head on. This song was played at his funeral. RIP Carl Phillip Wathen. August 8th 1960--April 12th, 1992.
I’m so so sorry
My God ..I'm so sorry ..I was a daddy's girl too❤
I can't listen to Garth Brooks without crying it makes me think of me and my Dad riding around when I was a young girl 12-13 years old and we would listen to the whole album. I lost him to a heart attack in 2011
Speaking from a father's point of view Bugs, what you said was probably the happiest part of your daddy's life.
The little things matter more when we are with our babies like that.
I’m eleven and I lost my very close great uncle and he told me to play this at his funeral
I am so sorry for your loss honey, know that he is with God today watching over his little girl now.
Sorry for your loss in 2011. Garth Brooks sings this song beautifully. It's tough to listen to when you've lost someone, but it can help ease your pain. I've found
Same here, my dad passed away when I was 13. We would always listen to Garth Brooks during car rides before we went on the best adventures. His music can’t help but make me cry and smile all together. I feel you ♥️♥️
When This song came out I instantly loved it. Now, as a widower of 10 years, it still touches my heart and soul. I would not have missed my dance with Don for anything. Love you Garth
Hello there Pam nice meeting you here
Thanks for your continuous love and support Pam❤❤
For how long have you been a fan of mine Pam??
@@KeanuReeves958 FAKE ACCOUNT ALERT!!!!✌️
@@justiceharrison5142 STALKER ALERT!✌️
My sister fighting cancer one day we spend time with that will forever be etched in our hearts. She wanted to listen to music. She danced with her children. This song came on when then she asked my brother to dance with her. They danced the whole song. She rested her head on our brother’s shoulder/chest area like that’s where she just wanted to feel comfort & that she got for the rest of the song. My brother gave her comfort that her idiot husband wouldn’t give her. He was to busy starting to replace her. Her family her core family will never replace her. She’ll forever be missed. She took a piece of all our heart with her. We love you sis more than words can say. ❤
I’m sorry about your loss, I know how bad it feels to lose someone you love cuz I lost my other half five years ago 😢 I love the song myself and it’s does help cheer me up. I guess you’re a country music lover??
I'm sorry I just found out I have cancer myself
Thanks for being an amazing fans over the years I LOVE U
Even after 30 years this song touches my heart and my soul❤
This was the father daughter dance at my girls wedding. Every time I hear it it brings back those memories. People were in tears while we were dancing. Lots of deep meaning.
All the pain, made me who I am today... I'm thankful to Christ for the dances I've had in this life💜💯
That's so thoughtful of you Thanks for your positive review, How are you and how's the weather over there?
Amen! 🙌🏽
❤❤
Amen!!!
My best friend watched me marry another man, I didn't know he was in love with me. My ex walked out the door and my best friend walked in and said I've been so in love with you for so long. Said this song came on one day after I'd gotten married and he felt every word. We got married and had 2 amazing babies. Now I listen to this song alone, he was killed in a car accident 10/10 turning into our driveway on our son's 6th birthday. I miss you j so much, I'll tell our love story with my every breath
What music did he like to listen to? Did he like Garth?
@Cuz_im_Chi he loved death metal, he listened to country music when he was missing me
I’m so sorry you had to endure that! Just know he is in a better place and is always with you in spirit ❤❤ GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ❤❤
What a memory I will tell my kids. If I have them
❤
I worked as the forklift driver for two weeks at the texas stadium in the early nineties for mr brooks. He would jump on my fork and ask me to to take him whereever. I was the last person to drop him off at his bus on the final night. I love this man. Met his father his mother and had a smoke with his sister. When the trellis fell garth showed up with mr mcbride. I was in the stands he was wearing a george strait hat and gym shorts and saw heard garth say: “when will enough be enough.
That’s when I knew this man was the real deal, and I will always love him for his care for humankind. He visited the hospital of the injured people. I was not one of them.
His love for mankind will always resonate with me in my heart. I love this man as a brother from another mother.
U should also look @ some of the amazing humanitarian acts some other great men R doing all in the name of Humanitarian MrTrump & MrMusk, Mr Snowden,
Mr Assange, please don’t take as sarcasm just wondering if U know of them?stay in peace 🕊️
Every time I hear this song, I think of my wife who passed from cancer. I don't regret the pain I just miss her
Kelly, your statement brought tears to my eyes - I too know how it feels to loose a loved one - Thank you.
im sorry for you loss
It breaks my heart for you. Your pain is raw and words don't begin to help. "Kelly", please know you are in my prayers. Take care of yourself, that's what she would want.
my heart goes out to you Kelly.cherish those memories God gave you
I love this song.
Twenty-six years after the break up of my first "marriage" this still gets me.
Five years ago I Lost my Mother and Dad and I played this song and continued to play it thank you Garth brooks❤
2024, still play this all the time. Reminds me of my mom and how I said goodbye to her that morning. The weeks leading up to her passing were some of the best we had ever had.
Easily one of the best songs of all time. I grew up listening to Garth on cassette tapes and most of his music is unmatched today.
I still love this song and sometimes it makes me want to cry because of remembering certain people in my life.
How are you? So sorry for the infringe on your privacy. Beautiful song
I hear you, sad to say its a very common affliction
That's so thoughtful of you Thanks for your positive review, How are you and how's the weather over there?
Hey there! How are you doing today? It’s nice to meet you here.
This song is a masterpiece
My husband died 9 years ago. It was sudden. Miss him with all my heart.
😢 Same here
9 years ago my husband died suddenly
No matter who you are we all can relate to the Dance.
Music does indeed tie us all together.no matter who we are.
Yes it does
Yes
No question.
My grandpa loved this song and it was played at his funeral.
I love listening to these country songs from all these great country singers… I’ve been a lover of country songs from my childhood cuz I grew up listening to them. I guess you’re a country musician lover??
that is nice of you guys to do because is last respect
this song is one of my favorite and he would but sorry for your dad lost
So many people in life dint realize just hope short an special life is. The people we love an we hold close to our heart can be gone in a blink of an eye. Always tell the ones you live HOW MUCH YOU DO LOVE THEM EVEN IF THEY KNOW ,ITS ALWAYS GREAT TO HEAR THE WORDS "U LIVE YOU TOO❤"
King Of The 90's ❤ in My Opinion He's The Greatest Singer Started His Dance
This song helps me to "heal from miscarriage" from 20 years ago. At that time I had been married 13 years and no kids. I felt a bad joke on me! My heart still breaks even though I had a girl in my 14th year and a son in my 16th year. Your heart still breaks for the child you never got to hold and see grow up!
Thank you for acknowledging my great sorrow! I am married 33 years today. My son turned 17 years old on the 19th.
@@salarymanager I hear your sorrow. I too lost a child I never got to hold and see grow up and I think of him/her often. Peace to you and yours.
I thank all those who replied to my grief. I still would like to hold my daughter. Here is a true fact: when I lost my daughter, my cousin who was 2 years younger than me asked if she could name her daughter after the one I lost! I was so HAPPY and felt she considered my feelings of loss and I said of course. The irony of the whole matter is my cousin died on my birthday 2 years ago! 😥
@@reddwine1899 BLESS YOU FOR YOUR KIND REPLY! I have been feeling guilty for 20 years because when I lost the baby inside of me @ 18 weeks, I was the only one who could feed and nourish her! It helps us mother's to heal to know that we are NOT alone in losing our child!
My wife died 7/27/2007 age of 48. 16 days after her 48th birthday. This song helps me to grieve losing her. Thank You Garth Brooks 😅
I miss you mom and dad. Way too young.
I miss you brother, even younger and my two babies.
This has been a very hard year.
There is no one left.
I am so sorry.
sorry for your lost
an that is the reason for you to strong you don't have to wick

my condolences from south america... they are angels watching us, dont be sad because you are never alone with them in your heart as cliche as it sounds its true... sending hugs and blessings
I lost my twin and play this song all the time It reminds me of my painful loss and so thankful I didn’t know when I would lose him. I couldn’t have bared it. Thankful for having such a loving brother to go through life with! The pain is the price for having had such a bond with him!
Hello how are you doing today 😊😊
am sorry for your twins and i believe God would do more
I'm grateful for every encounter I've had in my life no matter how bad or tragic they ended up being for every person I ever met taught me something very special or gave me great memories because that's what's all about his lessons and memories that's the only thing you carry with you everything else can be taken away
AMEN. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY 👪 🙏 ❤️ ♥️ 💕 💙 👪 🙏 ❤️ ♥️
Beautiful God bless you

If you're never right about anything else, you are right about what you said. Big respect to you.
Its called life live it and love it.And yes no one can take that away.

SO sorry for your special loss.. life stinks without someone you love
My grandma went Home two days ago, I’m playing this at her funeral. 😭😭 my world seems to have fallen apart. I love you and I will find you and grandpa to have a dance
This played at my grandmas funeral in 2017. I still listen quite regularly to this day… It doesn’t get easier but I understand your pain. She’s with my grandpa now and so is yours ❤️

Sorry sweetie, your the best for being so close to them. I still miss my grandparents, especially my grandma
Life is not the cards you're dealt.The main thing is how you play the cards that counts!
You also got to know when to foldem
I agree to belief; But u also get dealt a couple of Jokers that leave a mark on your soul that is not easy to bounce back from😵💫🤭
I give thanks to God that I was able to enjoy 13 years with my son before he died. I will forever treasure those moments.
Thank you so much, Maria! Your kind words are like a warm hug and they make me feel so appreciated. Keep on listening and I'll keep on making music from the heart. And sorry about your son
I played this at my sons funeral. He was only 30 years old. My wonderful handsome son Chris. I love and miss him everyday.
Thank you so much, Kim! Your kind words are like a warm hug and they make me feel so appreciated. Keep on listening and I'll keep on making music from the heart.
Sorry for your loss♥️🌹🌺🌸🏵️🌻
WHY CAN WE HAVE SONGS LIKE THIS TODAY.
I believe it's because in today's day many people choose to not participate in the Dance of life so there isn't any love or sorrow to write it out of their souls& in turn help others with these beautiful lyrics
I lost my wife of 42 years in January this song is everything to me because it describes the life we shared through good and bad ill always love you Jerrie.
I am so sorry sir
The first time I heard this song, a very special relationship had just ended. My 12 year old son was seated next to me in the car as it played. I felt every word and somehow I knew he did, too. Fast forward 13 years. It wasn't long after that break up that I did meet 'him.' We were married and while we raised are 3 combined children (and adopted a fourth), good and bad happened, but we were so glad we were together. I think my son and his daughter did better in life because of it. Unfortunately, he had contracted Interstatial Lung disease where he worked. After 20 months of difficult, painful bouts, he died only a few months after our 11th anniversary and our fourth child's graduation. It has taken years (20) to get where I'm at. This song takes me back, and makes me glad that original dance had ended.
How are you? So sorry for the infringe on your privacy. Beautiful song
I truly wish that the writer of this song knew how a whole FAMILY could be written out and you stand alone totally lost, broke alone. Holding in to threads for life.
Hello how are you doing today 😊😊
Oh how I know.
Yes i have lost my small family and without them or anyone is really tough .. i guess thats life
I have a lot of trauma due to losing people & from others things& reading all these stories break BREAK MY HEART!!! It shows you 1 POWERFUL THING IS THAT, to me, music has saved me so many times& gotten me through when I never thought I’d get back up& it does that for all of us!!! That’s a beautiful thing!!! It helps us cope heal, feel& whatever we need it’s there!!! My thoughts& prayers are with ALLLL of you in pain& suffering & I’m so sorry for each of you individually, I’m sorry for your pain, I pray you will see the sun again& take it day by day& I wish healing on all of you!!! God bless
It never gets old. Thank you Garth! 💖

this song has so many meanings to it. I played it at my moms celebration of life. She was the one who talked me into going to my senior prom even though i didnt want to, we lost a classmate the night before prom. but my mom told me this is your last dance you will get no more. then the last song at my prom was this song.
Hello April
I am crying 😢 my eyes out. I just read the obituary of a close friend from college.
I dedicate this song to Belinda
I will forever remember you.
Rest In Peace my love ❤😢
I miss the original video. It brings me back to an earlier time. It first reminds me of the relationship I had with my father and the video images of John Wayne take me back because my father admired him and actually looked like him. The song also reminds me of my precious daughter who I lost at an early age. Yes, "I could have missed the pain" but looking back, I would have never missed the dance. Love you Amber.
This song made me start believing Country music was great again when I was a teen listening to rock and was thinking I knew everything and glad and thankful I had parents who taught me to love a variety of music. No one can dispute the beauty of this song and genius of it. Thanks for keeping it Country y’all.

Got to see him 3 times… mid 90’s, 2015, 2019. My first concert when I was 11. Grew up on 90s country… my favorite music, my favorite artist.
We never know when it will be the last time we see our loved ones. Let the little things go and love your family. You never know when that opportunity may be gone.
Our family just lost a beautiful young soul at the tender age of 19. Lost tragically in a motorcycle accident.
This song came on the radio on our way down to the funeral. It is a beautiful reminder to enjoy every moment with the ones you love.
Every time I hear this song, it reminds me of the love of my life ❤ He gave it to me when I foolishly broke our hearts
Hey there! How are you doing today? It’s nice to meet you here.
28 years of the dance. Lost her to kidney failure. 3 kids and a wonderful time, would not changed a thing.
That's wonderful you had 28 years ago 3 kids. Love lasts a lifetime.
May she rest in peace. Sorry for your loss.❤
I had my wife for 35 years and lost her from kidney failure She gave me 2 kid And I didn't miss her
I was married to my wife by 35 years. Lost her to kidney disease 6 months ago. Had 2 good kids. I wouldn't change the sign I do miss her.
My favorite song of all time hands down nothing else even comes close. The most powerful song ever written I want this song played at my funeral and a CD of it put in my casket when it’s all over

Such a beautiful song! Garth is one of my favorites! To everyone in the comments who have lost loved ones, sorry for your losses
My name is Robin and it's 2024 and I'm still listening to the song and every time I play it it always brings me to tears
[Verse 1]
Lookin' 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 that you'd ever say goodbye
[Chorus]
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'da had to miss
The dance
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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'da had to miss
The dance
Beautiful song and Beautiful voice congratulations ❤❤

Lost my brother in 1997. Garth was his favorite..every time Garth comes on the radio I always say hey bubba. I love and miss you and cry so hard I get sick. Every single time. Until I see you again little brother. Save me a spot
As you keep trusting the Lord, He will favour you and elevate you to heights beyond your imagination.... it's been long when I lost my lovely wife her death pains me alot 💔Garth was her favorite too
I hope you are fine?
Hello, how are you today? It’s nice to meet you here.
I saw him in Orlando, Florida sing this sitting on a barstool with just a guitar. Marvelous. And beautiful
This was my dad’s favorite song and was played at his funeral. I still listen to it when I can’t take it anymore
And the award for the song that rips my heart out everytime I hear goes to:
Definitely still playing this lovely music in 2024❤
This song says just how strong Garth's faith is. What a way to say, "Thank you for being a part of my life."
Reminds me of loved ones that have past Iiss them but wow the dance
But this song isn't written by Garth
You know this song was about a cheater that left?
Amen
I remember hearing this song in 1991. My first husband was in military during Desert Storm and there were a series of concerts given for returning military. Garth Brooks and Kathy Mattea were at the Scope in Norfolk< Va.. Great song. Good memories with good friends. God Bless this country. May it Forever Stand till Jesus comes.
This song will forever be amazing ❤

My mama and I loved listening to this song together. She lost her vision when I was 6 years old. She had a very very tiny bit she could see but it was very hazy. Anyway, she would get her face up so close to the TV to see the official video for the song. Anyone who knows that video, knows how chilling it is to watch while hearing these lyrics. Mamas been gone 21 years this September and I miss her every single day. 😢
@@Garthbrooks77stop acting like you're Garth Brooks! You are not Garth Brooks
I lost my mom on December 4th 2023 and this song and Garth has been helping me through the grieving.
My deepest condolences!!!
Such a beautiful memory does this song allow me to revisit the morning, afternoon, and nights with my beloved ones...Where are the bodies?
I could of missed the pain, but I'd of had to miss the dance. So incredibly profound and poetic
@Garthbrooks3390 not bad, been depressed and anxious and guilty lately and this song helps soothe the ache

I av the cd witch see him coming up from stage, dunno if my ps5 plays more garth or games @ times lol
Had the Cd after listening to his voice on the Aviano US air base in northern Italy where I was born and raised and fell in love with country music which is of what I consider REAL deep and meaningful music of the heart. Angela Umbria Italy
It's too bad they won't ever show the video for this song. It's more interesting than listening to Garth Brooks.
If you want real country music, I suggest you listen to someone other than Garth Brooks. He never did sing country music, and he still can't sing.
Thank you for you service
Hello there. Thanks for the support
Where are you from ?
This was always one of mine and my late father and grandfathers favorite songs ever. Lost both in the past 2 years and always go back to this just to remember singing it riding down the road. I was classically trained in shool for music and vocal training. And even my late grandmother loved hearing me practice this song. One of the greatest regarless of genre.
This song kills me inside❤ such a great song❤ I did miss that dance,what I'd give to go back to that dance❤ saw Garth brooks in person I cry every time I hear it ❤
Me too, I cry every time I hear it. Tears of joy and regret and pain all rolled into one.
I lost my wife of 23 years and our 3 year old son in a house fire on Feb 27th 2023. I'm haunted every minute of the day. I was lucky to have them in my life, but this song nails it completely for me. I remember dancing with her to this when we first starting dating and it takes me back to that moment every time. I miss my family so much🥺🥺🥺
So sorry to hear man. I wouldn’t know how to go on if I went through that. You’re a strong man brother.
Thank you, I really don't feel like going on, but I have no choice in it. So all I can do is be thankful I got to have them in my life and celebrate their lives for the rest of mine.
I send you my condolences my friend. It's really nice you keep in your heart the love for them for rest of your live. And it is also really nice that sometimes this kind of beautiful songs drive us to moments of deep feeling.
