Looking back on the memory 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 goodbye?

And now I'm glad I didn't know

The way it all would end, the way it all would go

Highlights are better left to chance

I could have missed the pain, but I'd have had to miss the dance

Holding you, now I held everything

For a moment now, now wasn't I the king?

If I had only known how the king would fall

Hey now, who's to say? You know I might have changed it all

So now I'm glad I didn't know

The way it all would end, the way it all would go

Highlights are better left to chance

I could have missed the pain, but I'd have had to miss the dance

Highlights are better left to chance

I could have missed the pain, but I'd have had to miss the dance
