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.

The Pride of Oceanside High...

Lettered in football, basketball, track and field...

As one of a band of just eighteen...

He led the Pirates to a CIF football title...

San Diego Section Basketball Player of the Year... 

Shot put league champion...

He fought on at USC...

From academically ineligible his freshman year...

To a unanimous first team All-American...

He made his mark...

How ironic...

That he played...

For a team named the Chargers...

Electricity magnified...

Fiery...

Competitive...

Beloved...

And now...

Never forgotten...

But all the fame...

And all the fortune...

Doesn’t satisfy the soul...

It’s obvious...

He played with heart...

But apparently lived...

With a broken heart...
