Looking back on the
memory of
The Dance we shared 'neath the stars
above
For a moment all the world was right
How was I to know that you'd ever say
good-bye
{chorus}:
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
If I'd known how the king would fall
Well then who's to say I might have
changed it all {repeat chorus}:
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
Our lives are
better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the
dance
