[Verse 1]

Lookin' 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 would end, the way it all would go

Our lives are better left to chance

I could have missed the pain

But I'd've had to miss the dance

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

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've had to miss the dance

[Outro]

Yes, my life, it's better left to chance

I could have missed the pain

But I'd've had to miss the dance
