The Dance Songtext
von Barry Kirwan

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 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 have had to miss the dance


Holding you, I held everything
For a moment wasn't I the king
But if I′d only known how the king would fall
Hey, 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
Our lives are better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I'd have had to miss the dance

Guess my life is better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I′d have had to miss the dance
