The River

Looking back
On the memory of
The dance we shared
'Neath the stars above

For a moment
All the world was right
But 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 the king?

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

It's my life, it's better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I'd have had to miss the (dance)
