Remember the Dance

Lookin' back on the memory of

The dance we shared beneath the stars above

For a moment, all the world was right

But how could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye?

So when I'm all choked up and I can't find the words

Every time we say goodbye, baby, it hurts

When the sun goes down and the band won't play

I'll always remember us this way

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 have had to miss the dance

Lovers in the night (holding you)

Poets tryin' to write (I held everything)

We don't know how to rhyme

But, damn, we try (for a moment, wasn't I king?)

All I really know (if I'd only known)

You're where I wanna go (how the king would fall)

The part of me that's you will never die (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

Our lives are better left to chance

I could have missed the pain

But I'd have had to miss the dance

So when I'm all choked up and I can't find the words

(The way it all would end)

Every time we say goodbye, baby, it hurts

(I don't wanna be just a memory, baby, yeah)

When the sun goes down and the band won't play

(I'd have had to miss the dance)

I'll always remember us this way
