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