Lookin' 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'd ever say goodbye And 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 had to miss the dance Holdin' 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 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 had to miss the dance And 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 had to miss the dance It's my life, it's better left to chance I could have missed the pain But I'd have had to miss the dance I could have missed the pain
