Looking back on the memory of

The dance we shared 'neath 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'd have 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 have had to miss

The dance

Yes, my life

It's better left to chance

I could have missed the pain

But I'd have had to miss

The dance
