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 of 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
And 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 it's better left to chance
I could have missed the pain,
But I'd of had to miss the dance
