Lookin' back on the memory of The dance we shared Beneath 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 'Cause my life is better left to chance I could've missed the pain But I'd have to miss the dance Holdin' you, I held everythin' For a moment Wasn't I the king? If I'd only known How the king would fall Then 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 'Cause my life is better left to chance I could've missed the pain But I'd have to miss the dance Yes our lives are better left to chance I could've missed the pain But I'd have to miss the dance
