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 have missed 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 have to have missed the dance
Yes, my life is better left to chance
I could have missed the pain, but I'd have to have missed the dance
