Looking back

On the memory of

The dance we shared

'Neath the stars above

For a moment

All the world was right

But 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 have had to miss the dance

♪ ♪ ♪

Holding you

I held everything

For a moment

Wasn't I the king?

If I'd only known

How the king would fall

Hey, 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

Our lives are better left to chance

I could have missed the pain

But I'd have had to miss the dance

♪ ♪ ♪

It's my life, it's better left to chance

I could have missed the pain

But I'd have had to miss the (dance)
