Lyrics
Looking back on the memory of
Reflecting on past memories
The dance we shared 'neath the stars above
Recalling a dance shared beneath the stars
For a moment all the world was right
Experiencing a moment when everything felt right
How could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye
Expressing surprise at the unexpected farewell
And now I'm glad I didn't know
Expressing relief at not knowing the future
The way it all would end, the way it all would go
Acknowledging uncertainty about the course of events
Our lives are better left to chance
Philosophizing that life is unpredictable
I could have missed the pain
Recognizing the possibility of avoiding pain
But I'd have had to miss the dance
Accepting the pain as part of the meaningful experience
Holding you, I held everything
Emphasizing the significance of holding a loved one
For a moment wasn't I a king
Feeling like royalty in a moment of togetherness
But if I'd only known how the king would fall
Expressing regret at not foreseeing a downfall
Hey who's to say? You know I might have changed it all
Contemplating the potential for altering the outcome
And now I'm glad I didn't know
Reiterating relief at the lack of foreknowledge
The way it all would end the way it all would go
Acknowledging the unpredictable nature of life
Our lives are better left to chance
Reiterating the philosophy of leaving life to chance
I could have missed the pain
Recognizing the possibility of avoiding pain
But I'd have had to miss the dance
Reaffirming the acceptance of pain for the sake of the experience
It's my life, it's better left to chance
Asserting the autonomy of one's life
I could have missed the pain
Recognizing the potential to avoid pain
But I'd have had to miss the dance
Reaffirming the acceptance of pain as an integral part of life
