Looking back on the memory of
  The dance we shared 'neath the stars alone
  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
