The Dance

[juldea]

Lookin' back on the memories of
the dance we shared beneath the stars above.
For a moment, all the world was right.
How could I've known 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.
And our lives are better left to chance.
I could have missed the pain,
but I'd've had to miss the dance.

Holdin' you, I've 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,
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.
And our lives are better left to chance.
I could have missed the pain,
but I'd've had to miss the dance.

Yes, my life is better left to chance.
I could have missed the pain
but I'd've had to miss the dance.
