Lookin back on the mem'ry, 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 good bye
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 had have 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 had have to miss the dance
Yes my life, it's better left to chance.
I could have have missed the pain,
but I'd had have to miss the dance

saw(G) everything,
my first taste of(D)

(G)like strawberry(D)

Yes I still remember when thirty was old
and my biggest fear was September when he had to go,
a few cards and letters and one long distance call,
We drifted away like the leaves in the fall,
but year after year I come back to this place,
just to remember the taste
(Bridge Em6)The

(Em7)years since
they've seen the plow,

missing so(A)
much
