Looking back on the memory of
The dance we shared
'Neath the stars alone
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 of had to miss the dance

Holding you I held everything
For a moment 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 chanced 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 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
