The Dance Songtext
von Renato Russo

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 have had to miss the dance


Holding you I held everything
For a moment wasn′t I a king?
If I′d only known how the king would fall
Then who's to say, no 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

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