Lookin' back On the memory of The dance we shared Neath 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'da had to miss the dance Holding you I held everything For a moment Wasn't I a 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 have missed the pain But I'da had to miss the dance It's my life It's better left to chance I could have missed the pain But I'da had to miss The dance
