The Dance

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
