I Hope You Dance Lyrics - Lee Ann Womack
Review The Song (25)
(wait 8, 4 counts)
I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat, but always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance
Chorus: And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance,
I hope you dance (dance), I hope you dance (dance)
I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Livin’ might mean takin’ chances, but they're worth takin’
Lovin’ might be a mistake but it's worth makin’
Don't let some hell bent heart leave you bitter
When you come close to selling out, reconsider
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance,
I hope you dance.. (time is a wheel in constant motion always)
I hope you dance... (rolling us along)
I hope you dance...(tell me who wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
I hope you dance.... (where those years have gone)
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance,
dance (dance) (hold for 2 4 counts), I hope you dance (dance),
I hope you dance... (dance) (time is wheel in constant motion always)
I hope you dance...(rolling us along)
I hope you dance (dance) (tell me who wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
I hope you dance.. (dance)(where those years have gone)
(tell me(dance) who wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
(where(dance) those years have gone)
(wait 8 4 counts)
I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat, but always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance
Chorus: And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance,
I hope you dance (dance), I hope you dance (dance)
I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Livin’ might mean takin’ chances, but they're worth takin’
Lovin’ might be a mistake but it's worth makin’
Don't let some hell bent heart leave you bitter
When you come close to selling out, reconsider
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance,
I hope you dance.. (time is a wheel in constant motion always)
I hope you dance... (rolling us along)
I hope you dance...(tell me who wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
I hope you dance.... (where those years have gone)
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance,
dance (dance) (hold for 2 4 counts), I hope you dance (dance),
I hope you dance... (dance) (time is wheel in constant motion always)
I hope you dance...(rolling us along)
I hope you dance (dance) (tell me who wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
I hope you dance.. (dance)(where those years have gone)
(tell me(dance) who wants to look back on their youth and wonder)
(where(dance) those years have gone)

Theres a little girl in my dance group and she died 2 months ago!
Dancing was her passion and she put every ounce of heart and soul into it!
We sang this song at her funeral!
It was so lovely and she would have loved it!
Siofra: I hope yu're still dancing with yur angel wings!

Awesometastic | Reviewer: Jennifer B. | 2/3/08
It's such a lovely song. My band tried to play it when i was in teh eigth grade and i didt even realize it was that song at the time! I go back and regret we never put forth the effort to learn it. BEcause it's simply an amazing song and just so lovely. it cna be used for anyone anywhere.

My baby!! | Reviewer: dalila | 6/6/07
Since the first time I heard this song it got me teary eyed...my daughter was about five during this time and I vowed to buy it and play it in her quinceanera, sweet fifteen. Everytime my sister hears it on the radio she calls me so I can tune to it, it's beautiful and every mother's wish for their daughter :)
WOnderful | Reviewer: Best Ever By Her | 5/15/07
We sand this with our choir at school and it didn't sound as good as this but everytime i hear it I just have to start singing I love it!
cry every time | Reviewer: Rain | 4/28/07
This song reminds me of my 2 step-daughters. Sadly, their father and I are no longer together, but remain friends. This song represents for me, all the wishes I had/have for them in their lives. We all got 'stuck' in the pain of divorce, and this song reminds me of how I hope their little spirits soar despite hardships. Also, one can't help but reflect on how little we all felt, standing by the ocean, 'jumping waves'.
amazingg | Reviewer: girl | 3/1/07
this song is beautiful. i sing along to it and it gives me goosebumps
Keep Dancing | Reviewer: Brianna Tisdale | 2/25/07
I dedicate this song to my friend who loves to dance her heart out. It's a powerful song, not only about life, but also about dancing through the hard times. I'm listening to it right now and I just love it! Lee Ann did a good job writing this song. It was played at a dance recital I went to and I fell in love with it. My brother and mom danced to it at my brother's wedding for the mother/son dance and I found a new appreciation for the song and it is super addictive. Remember to keep dancing!
No more wasting life | Reviewer: Brent | 2/22/07
I'm 45, never been married, never been in love, never even been to a dance. But this friday night I've signed up for a dance class and asked a gal at work if she wanted to join me and she said yes. I've been sitting it out my whole life. It's time to dance.
