The Dance (Live from the Bluebird Cafe)

[Verse 1]
Looking back on the memory of
The dance we shared beneath the stars above
And for a moment all the world was right
How could I have known that you'd ever say goodbye?

[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

[Verse 2]
Holding you, I held everything
For a moment now wasn't I the king?
But if I'd only known how that king would fall
Hey now, who's to say? You know, I might have changed it all

[Chorus]
So 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

[Post-Chorus]
Our lives are better left to chance
I could have missed the pain
But I'd have had to miss the dance

[Spoken Outro]
Thank y'all very much
Thank y'all so very much
Thank you
Thank y'all
