The Dance

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.

Yes, my life is better, left to chance.
I could have missed the pain, but I'd have had to miss the dance.
