THE DANCE
by: Garth brooks
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
SENIOR PROM
Sheridan moved back home after she finished 11th grade, she wanted to do her senior year at home. Luis found out from his mom that Sheridan was moving back home , he was so happy. She was the only person he wanted to go to the prom with. On the first day of school, Luis saw Sheridan and he couldn’t believe she was still the beautiful little girl that he feel in love with so long ago. “Sheridan, do you remember me?”, Luis asked nervously. “Of course I remember you Luis and may I say my how you have changed since the last time I saw you”, Sheridan said as she was smiling at him. “You are still very beautiful and I would love it if you would go to the prom with me?”, Luis asked. “Don’t you think its early to be asking me to the prom?”, Sheridan asked. “Yes I know it’s early but you are the only one I want to go with”, Luis said happily. From that day, Sheridan and Luis did everything together.

“Where have I heard this story before?”, they said together. “Wait, I remember”, Sheridan said. “Me too and it was your 10th birthday party”, Luis said. “It was the first and last time that I saw you and I was sad when I had to return to Paris”, Sheridan said > sadly. “I remember that party too and I was so sad when I found out that you had gone back to Paris”, Luis said. “I was sad too and that's why I wanted to come back home, I wanted to see you again , to find out if you felt the same way I did”, Sheridan said. “Of course I feel the same way and that's why I asked to take you the prom and why I have spent all my time with you. I should have told you this already but I was scared.
