Looking back on the memory of
The dance we shared ´neath 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
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 a king
But 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
