Looking back on the memory of
The dance we shared 'neath the stars alone
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 goOur lives are better left to chance I could have missed the pain
But I'd of had to miss the dance
