Lookin′ back on the memory of

The dance we shared, beneath the stars above

For a moment all the world was rightHow 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

Yes, my life, it's better left to chance

I could have missed the pain, but I′da had to miss

The dance
