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
