The Dance (Apple Music Sessions)

Looking back on the memory of

The dance we shared beneath 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've missed the pain, but I'd have had to miss the dance

Well, holding you, well, I held everything

And for a moment, wasn't I the king?

But if I'd only known how the king would fall

And who's to say? You know I 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

But our lives are better left to chance

I could've missed the pain, but I'd have had to miss—

Yes, our life is better left to chance

I could've missed the pain, but I'd have had to miss the dance
