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,

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 of 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.
