| Looking back on the memory of
|
| The dance we’d shared underneath the star above
|
| For a moment all the world was right
|
| How could I have known that you would 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, the dance
|
| I would have missed the dance, the dance
|
| I would have missed the dance
|
| Holding you, I held everything
|
| For a moment, oh, wasn’t I a king
|
| But if I’d only known how the king would fall
|
| They used 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, the dance
|
| I would have missed the dance, the dance
|
| I would have missed the dance
|
| 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
|
| Yes, our lives are better left to chance
|
| I could have missed the pain
|
| But I’d have had to miss the dance
|
| Oh, the dance
|
| Sing, the dance
|
| I said I would have missed the dance, the dance
|
| Said I would have missed the dance, the dance
|
| Said I would have missed the dance, the dance, dance
|
| Said I would have missed the dance
|
| Oh, the dance
|
| Said I would have missed the dance |
