The Dance we shared 'neath the stars above
For a moment all the world was right
How was I to know that you'd ever say good-bye
[Chorus:]
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 ever known how the king would fall
Well who's to say I might have changed it all
[Repeat Chorus]
Our lives are better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I'd have had to miss the dance"

couldn't be much more from the heart
forever trusting who we are

and nothing else matters
trust I seek and I find in you
every day for us something new
open mind for a different view
and nothing else matters
never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
but I know
so close no matter how far
couldn't be much more from the heart
forever trusting who we are
and nothing else matters
never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
but I know
never opened myself this way
life is ours, we live it our way
all these words I don't just say
trust I seek and I find in you
every day for us something new
open mind for a different view
and nothing else matters
never cared for what they say
never cared for games they play
never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
and I know
so close no matter how far
couldn't be much more from the heart
forever trusting who we are
no nothing else matters"
