Looking back on the memory of
The dance we shared beneath the stars above
For the 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
'Cause my live is better left to chance 
I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance

Holding you I held everything
For the moment wasn't I the king
If I'd only know how the king would fall
Then who's to say you know I might have changed it all

But now I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all would end 
The way it all would go
'Cause my live is better left to chance 
I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance

Yes, my life is better left to chance
I could have missed the pain 
But I'd of had to miss the dance
