The Dance — текст песни (Renato Russo)

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 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?
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`ve 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
(Lyric by Tony Arata)
