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'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'da 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'da had to miss the dance.



It's my life, It's better left to chance,

I could have missed the pain,

But I'da had to miss

The dance
