Lyrics:
G C
Looking back on the memory of
D C D
The dance we shared 'neath the stars above
G C
For a moment all the world was right
D C D
How could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye
C D
And now I'm glad I didn't know
Bm7 C D
The way it all would end the way it all would go
C D
Our lives are better left to chance
Bm7
I could have missed the pain
C D G
But I'd of 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 chanced 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 of had to miss the dance
Yes, my life is better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance
