[Verse 1]
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?

[Chorus]
And now, I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all end, the way it all would go
Our lives are better left to chance
I couldn't miss the pain, but I'd have had to miss
The dance

[Verse 2]
Holding you, well, I held everything
And for a moment, wasn't I the king?
But if I'd only known how the king would fall
And who's to say, no, I might have changed at all?

[Chorus]
And now, I'm glad I didn't know
The way it all end, the way it all would go
Well, our livеs are better lеft to chance
I couldn't miss the pain, but I'd have had to miss
It's all our life is better left to chance
I couldn't miss the pain, but I'd have had to miss
The dance
