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

Chorus:

And now, I'm glad did 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, the dance

Would have missed the dance

The dance, the dance

I would have missed the dance

Holding you, I held everything

For a moment, Oh wasn't I a 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

Chorus:

Music solo

Repeat chorus:

Yes, our lives are better left to chance

I would have missed the pain

I'd have had to miss the dance

The dance, OoHh the dance

Sing it, would have missed the dance

Said the dance, the dance

The dance, the dance

What a dance, a dance

Would have missed the dance

The dance, the dance, Oh the dance
