The Dance

[Verse 1] Looking 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? [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 have had to miss the dance [Verse 2] 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 [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 have had to miss the dance [Interlude] [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 have had to miss the dance [Outro] Yes, my life is better left to chance I could have missed the pain, but I'd have had to miss the dance
