Lyrics:

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?

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
The dance
I would have missed the dance
The dance
I would have missed 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
Who's to say no?
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
The dance
I would have missed the dance
The dance
I would have missed the dance

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
That's why life is better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I'd have had to miss the dance
The dance
