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
that you might have
said 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 have 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
They used 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 have to miss
the dance
My life is better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But I'd have to miss the dance
