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 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 
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 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
