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

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

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
