Mindy McCready - The Dance Lyrics
Lookin' back on the memory of
The dance we shared
Beneath the stars above
For a moment all the world was right
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
'Cause my life is better left to chance
I could've missed the pain
But I'd have to miss the dance
For a moment
Wasn't I the king?
If I'd only known
How the king would fall
Then 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
'Cause my life is better left to chance
I could've missed the pain
But I'd have to miss the dance
Yes our lives are better left to chance
I could've missed the pain
But I'd have to miss the dance

Very nice. Thanks for posting.
Am so hurt over this can believe , you are a angel 😇
Beautiful ❤️
Simply beautiful what a voice 😍
Amen! Way Toooo Short!!
Some of the most beautiful souls are often the most tortured and broken ones.
Angel!!!!!!
Every time I hear of a Suicide I always wonder if there was something I could have done or said if I had been there. I wonder if I could have made a difference in their life.
Tragic.
RIP Beautiful One
This version is fabulous. Her life tragically cut too short.
Yes it was 😞😥😢
Such a gifted lady! Her death so heartbreaking! She is with the Angels and she is Free! But Very Missed!
Rest in peace sweet beautiful Mindy! Your life was cut way too short! Next time I go to Florida I will have to be sure to put some lilies on your grave ❤️
“Those we love don’t go away, they walk beside us every day… unseen, unheard, but always near, still loved, still missed and very dear.”
I stumbled across this by complete accident because this is my favorite song. Her voice is awe inspiring, I could write paragraphs on how much this touched me i I have no idea who she even was. I am so sorry for everyone’s loss. Rest In Peace Mindy.
😞😥😢😞😥😢😞😥😢😞😥😢😞😥😢
My she R.I.P 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🌹
Miss her💔💔💔
All was will be miss her beautiful voice and her singing too my she R.I.P🙏🙏🌹😞😥😢💔
a very troubled soul . a beautiful gifted soul . sad very sad and not fair . but god has a plan for us . we will never understand it perhaps . god bless her
hard to listen to , makes me almost burst into tears
the weight of the world brought her down so low
Amen🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🌹
A stunning, unique voice gone too soon
Mindy you was so loved by many. If only there was a bigger focuse on the cause of depression. I'll never forget you on the awards one night and you came out barefooted. Girl that's when I knew you was real.
tracy reed , Grief can include depression, but it's not quite the same. She had been traumatized, not only by her fiancee's death, but the manner of it. And that doesn't even speak to the loss of her sons so soon after. I can't begin to imagine her hell.
@Charles Thompson So true all of it. I can't image I just hurt thinking about her I had all her CDs when I was younger.
I've always loved her stripped back version of this... The song and performance are a fitting epitaph..
Never knew she did a cover of this song. And It still breaks my heart. She was such a treasure. A loss like hers will always be crushing.
She she was one of the greatest female artist of all times this song is so beautiful is it's her story rest in peace beautiful lady
OMG!!!!!!!What a beautiful voice and person!!!!!Shame to go so soon...
Steve Newton
I was a 17 year old high school student when Mindy was on top of the world! She quickly became one of my favorite voices in country music. It is hard to imagine how somebody so beautiful and talented could have such a tragic ending. She died at age 37 but she certainly knew what it felt like to be on top doing more in 37 years than most people do in a life time. R.I.P fellow Florida girl!!
I miss her beautiful voice and her singing too it broke my heat wend she die 😞😥😢 but my she R.I.P 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😞😥😢💔
Why are all the talented ones such CUNTS !!! First she kills an innocent dog then she committed her mortal soul to hell for all eternity by committing suicide. What a waste of human sperm.
Richard Gallerani Shut up moron. She was in profound grief. She was traumatized.
Wow, how so beautiful she was and a voice from heaven, so sad!!
Such a sad ending for a beautiful tortured soul. R.I.P. Mindy...hope you're at peace.
I miss her singing😞😞😞😥😢😢😥😢
My she R.I.P🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🌹
Rip god needed a Angel she is missed
Im so angry that she took her own life. But i guess she couldnt take it anymore! RIP MINDY. WE MISS YOU. YOUR FANS WILL ALWAYSREMEMBER YOU. LOVE YOU.
This song is so 😥 it makes me cry trying to text and read .
My she R.I.P 😞😥😢🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🌹
You've been gone 26 yrs
You've been gone 19 yrs
You've been gone 18 yrs
You all hold a special place in my heart and my life. I still miss you every day. I lost a part of myself when you left to go to a better place. I am the person am because of having known you I miss you every day.
I feel this very deeply. I lost a lot of family and friends to suicide and have attempted myself...
Just listening to this song makes me cry it's a sad song but i still love her singing and her beautiful voice my shr R.I.P 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🌹😞😥😢😢😥😢😥😢😥😢😥😢😥😢😢
Oh Mindy you are so missed sweetheart , rest easy .
I miss her singing all the time and her beautiful voice my shr R.I.P🙏🙏🙏🙏🌹
Everyone has had a moment in their life when, "All the world was right." If only that moment could have lasted forever.

My friend we had a lot of laughs and many tears; you never knew how special you were...RIP my dear talented friend!

omg.... chills and waterworks. another young and beautiful life taken far too soon...my heart still breaks.
Mama Beauty Home I know . . . 😢❤️
She killed herself it wasnt an accident. To say it was taken too soon is way wrong.
I cry wend i play her song's i feel in love with her song's it's it's hard now I just can't believe she's gone wend i play her song's it makes me wont to cry😞😥😢
She had a beautiful voice 😘😞💔😥😢
Mindy, I cry every time I hear your angelic voice sing to us left on Earth.
She has been released .. She is in Heaven
Mindy was not in her right mind when she took her own life. God knows that
@Jonathan Cook Thats true !!!Unless she had time to repent after she did it!!!!
@Paul London it doesnt matter what you believe it matters what the bible says and according to the bible anyone that takes their own life goes to hell.
@Kate Maloney the Bible clearly states you cannot go to heaven if you take your own life. There is no way to ask for forgiveness of that sin before you stand before the lord and savior Jesus christ.
@Dennis Cox | "according to the bible anyone that takes their own life goes to hell" ... could you please cite the reference(s)?
Your dance on this earth was way to short, Mindy.
i agree her impact is way to damn short on earth but like life always does death do as part
Laurie Marks so is mine
😢😢 yes it sure was
Truth. I still listen to her music..
I love her song's😞
lost now
sorry to say,, I tears,,,,!!!! cryen,!!!!, love mindy, !!!!;-( have your CDs from the 90s,!!
Gone way too soon! Beautiful version of this song! RIP Mindy
Marla I’ve never understood the statement “ gone way to soon “ as if there’s a GOOD TIME TO GO!?!?
@K9COP282 I'd say yes. Have a sudden heart attack take you in your '90s after you've led a full and active life!
Very True
God--what a beautiful singer--voice of a angel!!!!
TheNyteRyder well said
Maybe that’s why she was called to Heaven so soon...
Yes she was a beautiful angel and a beautiful voice she will all was be miss my she R.I.P 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🌹😞
I have never knew about her singing this one....but omg I love it. She was such an amazing musician. I still can't believe she's gone. :(
"The Dance" is a song written and composed by Tony Arata and has been sung by many artists.
Very pretty song.
fairybits, yes it is such a bittersweet song. Mindy's version is so much more moving, especially with her suicide. She was gone too soon.
@Johna Smith
But now she is happy. The ones that are left behind will suffer for it. Are suffering.
I can't believe that too i can play her song's i wood never get tired listen to her song's my she R.I.P🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
