Lookin' back on the memory of The Dance

We shared with the stars above

For a moment all the world was right

But how could I have known that

You'd never say goodbye

And now I'm glad I didn't know

The way it all would end

The way it all would go

Because our lives are better left to chance

I could have missed the pain

But I'd of had to miss The Dance

Holdin' you I held everything

For a moment wasn't I the king

If I'd only known how the king would fall

Well, who's to say, you know

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 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
