Lookin' 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'da had to miss

The dance.
