I Hope You Dance - English Country - Lee Ann Womack
I Hope You Dance - English ... Lyrics & Chords
An absolutely stunning Country music number originally sung by talented country singer Lee Ann Womack, Here is one such song of inspiration from her album I HOPE YOU DANCE.
A innovative album, that is filled with creative musical expression, thoughtful uncliche’d lyrics (as country music lyrics usually are), and displays incredible song writing talent. “I Hope You Dance” is for anyone needing a lift-me-up or inspiration to get back on track. This song really inspires me and gets me going.
“Promise Me you’ll give Faith a fighting chance” – Never lose hope!
So, here it is – my take on this – bear with my Indo-American accent… ;-)
I dedicate this song to Neil for his constant support and encouragement despite all his medical difficulties. Thank you Neil for the backing track, and your efforts at mixing.
Your constructive feedback is always welcome!
I Hope You Dance lyrics
Songwriters: Sanders, Mark D.; Sillers, Tia;
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
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance
I hope you dance
I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Living might mean taking chances but they’re worth taking
Lovin’ might be a mistake but it’s worth making
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 years 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
I hope you dance
(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 years and wonder)
I hope you dance
(Where those years have gone)
Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder
(Dance)
Where those years have gone
(Dance)

Dear friends, Thank you so much for your kind comments for a song that is totally not in my genre. Again, attempted it on a whim – Thanks to Neil coaxing me to do an English cover…
@Kumar, Ajay – loyalty still will remain to classical/semi-classical genre… but this was like a breeze to attempt.
@Anju – Thanks. That’s a big compliment. :-)
Thanks to all those who fav’ed/liked it too.

Sudha, got redirected to this a few minutes back. I absolutely love this song for its empowering lyrics. I also like Carrie Underwoods country/pop version. Country Western songs like a lot of bollywood songs are sometimes a little over the top on emotions but I can never get tired of this song! Great singing and an awesome track and mixing. I just wish you would have tried a little bit more power and throw on the high “…dance” notes, that I know you are capable of. But my trip here was worth it!

Thanks for the trip here, Rajeev. Appreciate and agree on your pointers and pats. :-) Recorded this ages ago, I still have some issues with my recording and mixes – ask anyone who’s heard me live, I particularly don’t need a mic to sing, I’m pretty loud! Usually have to lower my peaks electronically in the mixes.
