Looking 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'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
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
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
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
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
I could have missed the pain but I'd of had to miss the dance

omg i love this song so much. i was pretty messed up the first time i heard it, i was just sittin on a couch in this room with some friends and it was the last song on this dance comp, goddamn it rules.
You should hear the original version by Garth Brooks - it's infinitely more powerful and heartbreaking than Rockell's version. I like Rockell's voice, but the upbeat-dance beat takes alot of power out of the song.
