The Dance

 
    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 have had to miss the dance

    Holding you
    I held everything
    For a moment
    Wasn't I the 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

    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

    Yes my life...
    It's better left to chance
    I could have missed the pain
    but I'd have had to miss the dance
