The Dance
                          
                               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 a king?
  If I'd only known how the king would fall
  Then 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
  
  It's my life, it's better left to chance
  I could have missed the pain
  But I'd have had to miss the dance
