I lost my wife to luekemia at the age of 32 in 2000 and this song is still one of the hardest songs ever to listen to. She was everything to me. When I hear this song, I especially enjoy the live version, all I can think is I loved a woman with all my heart for 9 years and I wouldnt give that up for anything. 'The Dance" is the time I got to spend with her, I will deal with the pain. Jh.
