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 queen

If I'd only known

how the queen 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

is better left to chance

Could have missed the pain

but I'd of had to miss

the dance... oh
