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 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 If our lives are better left to chance Oh, our lives are better left to chance Oh, our lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain But I'd have had to miss the dance
