Lee Ann Womack I hope you dance

[Aseatondream]

Rest In Peace Kelly and Shirley. I know you are dancing.

[darrienemelinda]

This song makes me cry cause they played it at my sister funeral. She was only 23. So everytime I hear this song it makes me cry. I miss and love Robin!!!

[Smiliegirl76]

Live each day as the precious gift it is, for each day may be your last. Breathe in the air around you and feel it's beauty, sing like no ones listening, dance like no nes watching, smile as if you mean it, love like you have never been hurt before and remember alays to love, laugh , live...

[rdayallgone]

jayad504

remember ...Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional...



[iPrigBoy]

Thumbs up if this song was wonderful enough to make you cry.

[Orionshallrise]

I hope you dance, before you get the life beat out of you, I really do.

[minicooperFnF]

does anyone know who the back up singer is?he has an awesome voice

[TheNigelc8]

ipoundpoon, wow, to be called nerdy virgin at 64 years of age what can i say, i bet it used half of your one brain cell to think that one up, i wont talk to you anymore because i can hear you being called for your nappy change,

[JustAJinxx]

I cry so hard thinking that so many people take EVERYTHING for granted. You really truly need to take a step back and be thankful for all the beautiful small things in this world...i wish more people thought deep and didnt just take the easy way out.

[ChrisHalliwell13]

A precious member of my family died the other day, and I couldn't restrain my tears after listening to this song, because she's right. When things go wrong in life, remember the good things. Don't take the easy way out just because it's easier, and take the risks, because the outcomes are usually pretty good. This song came on the radio right when I needed a little hope, and it restored some of my faith, and helped me get on with life. I can only hope that other people "dance" when they're down.

[ipoundpoon]

MILF 

[tahijshamoore]

This reminds of me and my ex best friend we used to love this song!

[nstypnk]

I love this song even more because it was featured in Tyler Perry's movie "FAMILY THAT PREYS"

[TheNigelc8]

as a practicing atheist i love this song, and seabreezzee i'll dance with you anytime

[ipoundpoon]

@TheNigelc8 a practicing atheist hahha what a pathetic nerdy virgin

[gallopinto88]

@ipoundpoon HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Your name is ipoundpoon and your calling someone a "nerdy virgin"? HAHAHAHAHAHA! It sounds to me as though you are trying to compensate for something by having that name.... Who's the nerdy virgin, hhmmmm? HAHAHAHAHHAA

[sweetlala08]

That is a beautiful little girl with those green eyes! Are these her children?

[ipoundpoon]

@sweetlala08 yes they are you bitch

[allyssaninja]

love dis song

[terrykiow]

Especially for Gail:  One of my favourite Country songs - it expresses your wish

[luvkalel]

she is beautiful like her song

[seabreezzee]

This song is my inspiration in so many ways...I'm handicapped, haven't been handicapped all my life and I've had a wonderful life...now it's tough but...I still hope to dance...even if it's in my mind, I choose to dance...

[ChrisHalliwell13]

@seabreezzee Good for you. I really do wish that more people had your mentality.

[tavic22]

Some special memories to this one..

[corrie3573]

This song is one that helps me get through hard times. I really do love it.

[Lucariofan24680]

GOD i LUV this song! :)

[nickfan118]

[spanky022210]

Never forget to dance with your babies and dream big for them! Remind them that you are always there for them!

[babygirl8477]

I LOVE THIS SONG....THIS SONG IS FOR MY GIRLS!!!

[Lucariofan24680]

a very beautiful song...

[aliciaboo2009]

they played this today at my promotion and i cried

[vol108um]

thank you Lee Ann Womack for recording this version! love it

[Nella333]

@CrazeyMary yes i think it would be appropriate

@jayad504 i kno how u feel i just graduated high school too and actually our high school choir sang this song. im kinda scared to grow up too....

[bluesoulady]

i love this song and it will be my words to my daughter and want it sung at my funeral (not being morbid honest!) the words are so spot on for what i want to say, i dont know who wrote it but its so inspired and i love it!

[janeboof97]

i love how she's talking to children in this video!

[Zickcermacity]

Very moving tune! Goes out to all like myself who have lost an immediate loved one like a Mom or spouse.

Question: I grew up on radio and that is where I first heard this Lee Ann record. Has anyone here hear this song, EXACTLY as it sounds here, but with FEMALE(possibly Womack's own overdubs) backing chorus on the "I hope you daaaaance" refrains? That male backing up those refrains sticks out like a sore thumb. Cannot find the female backup version anywhere.

Is it sold only to radio?

[jamcarherzog]

Love this video ....To all my friends and family.....this is to inspire you to hang in there with what might seem like an obstacle or challenge in life. We are meant to face them...(If you have been following some of mine ...well you can relate) Stay in there and choose to dance...love you all..

[Divadoll2010]

They sang this song at my graduation on monday

[angeladark100]

this is my song my mom and i cry to

[BeautyIsHer]

such a beautiful song

[rcb3000]

this song makes me cry =')

[attila434AD]

nice

[pixeydust77]

This is a beautiful song. Dancing is a way of showing emotions, usually happy or in a good mood. Hell I dance in the grocery store sometimes. My ex loved to watch me. (It was more like skipping around type dancing, wasn't actually dancing like some kinda of idiot in the middle of wal-mart...lol)

[Tammy12345able]

i love this song

[misstatorbug]

Sang at my Daughters Graduation Saturday by one of her classmates.. i always loved the song.. but when i heard it Saturday i so ciredddddd.. man it says alot.. and has alot of meaning!!!!

[BuckworthJackson]

Where can I find a version without the male singer screwing it up?

Thanks

[halliemilie]

this is my graduation song this year. Very nice song if you ask me. it is one of my favorites.

[xxblackgemxx]

this song is being sung by my class for graduation. its such a touching song :**)

[daaqueen123]

@xxblackgemxxMy Graduation t2 tHIS YEAR iN JUNEE

[Bangbaby84]

[lena1luv2garcia]

this is a beautiful song and it makes me cry all the time! i love it! it has so much deep meaning! dedicate it to someone who meens the most to you!!! GOD BLESS YOU!!!

[attila434AD]

nice

[boochy123]

i have to sing this song for choir it's a good song this ios the first time i heard the actual person sing it

[CrazeyMary]

i have to sing for a girl who died of leukemia in my school would this be a good idea?

[dashing322]

@CrazeyMary That's SO sweet of you!!!!!!!!!!

[mszeldafreak]

@CrazeyMary yes

[hayliegh2708]

@CrazeyMary I know how you may ask that. my niec's baby sister past away four years ago... she would of been four years old yesterday if she had lived. her sister's birthday is next week. she will be 8. I was going to sing this song to them. I didn't . this year I feel the need to. some songs are healing and meaningfull. so yes it would be a good idea. little angels dance in heaven. also you can try "Tears in Heaven" Eric Clapton. sad song though. Hope all goes well.

[seabreezzee]

@CrazeyMary Yes, this would be a wonderful song to sing...even if this is too late for your school function...do it!

[lovelydagger1]

@CrazeyMary Excellent idea

[brittny98]

this reminds me of my cuzin, jeff he passed away at 22 and i never really rlized tht i would miss him this muchh i never talked to him tht muchh but i cried at his funeral non stop then i remebered all the GREAT times we had together tht i will cherish forever♥ and my great grandpa who also passed was a great dancer and he always broke out moves same for jeff and i know there dancing in heaven..together i miss and love you jeff<3

[swtncgram43]

My husband passed away and this is one of the last things he said to me.

[jayad504]

@swtncgram43 That actually made me tear up. I'm so sorry

[jayad504]

This song makes me cry because I'm graduating high school soo, tomorow, actually, and I'm scared to grow up. I know it makes no sense, but hopefully to someone it wll :')

[loganberry30]

@jayad504

I know how you feel. I'm graduating from college on Sunday. But our best days are ahead of us :)

[jayad504]

@loganberry30 CONGRATS! I can't wait to graduate (:

[hnkchnkchnky]

@jayad504 i understand you too, i've cried everyday this week. i'm graduating the 27th. Bittersweet.

[jayad504]

@hnkchnkchnky Thanks (: High school? And it makes me cry even more cause our song is the Vitamin C graduation song :(

[hnkchnkchnky]

@jayad504 yeah high school. and i'm scared :-/

[zarianna1784]

@jayad504 I completely underatand. Not to worry though, you'll be fine. The thing with graduating from high school is, you'll get more freedom to make choices but there'll still be parents or relatives or teachers or someone that'll stand by you and help pick up the pieces if your choices turn out to be wrong & celebrate with you if they turn out right. I'm graduating from college next month. Excited and scared at the same time..

[MsViv1234]

@jayad504 i have 3 boys go for all . i know and don't forget too dance.

[Deathwisha7x]

@jayad504 I know exactly how you feel. I'm scared too :')

[JerseyDvl]

I always find this inspirational because it is a reminder that there is so much to live for and love all around us. I wish these things for everyone I know and love and pray the choose to dance.

[kmcknighton]

[7SEVEN7ification]

Wonder who wants to look back................

[crunkaintdead757]

when you get the choice to sit it out or dance, i hope you dance

[swaqqsurphiin]

I really like this song. Ever since i heard it on Tyler Perry's The Family That Preys :) its a really good song!

[dickmeana]

[dxhhhwwecwwwf1985]

[53704sweetgirl]

this was my moms favorite song rip mom 4/17/1956-8/25/2004

[ccchrysti]

[darkmidnightlight]

this reminds me of how i use to dance around in the living room with my dad and i how i use to stand on his shoes with my tiny feet.

[poop1is1cool1wakakak]

i danced with my mom to this song the day before i left to go into the air force. makes me cry everytime i hear it.

[Krause12689]

Nobody wants to hear your sob stories. Comment on the song or get the fuck out.

[mayraromero123456]

@Krause12689 part of the reason people began to write music in the first place was so that they could express their feelings without having o speak. and any composer should feel proud if their song makes people have emotions they otherwise didnt have.

[kdubz100]

@Krause12689 your a weirdo

[jbarnum91]

my grandmother dedicated this song to me... she means so much to me she raised me ever since i was two. She got diagnosed with invasive breast cancer and she is living proof that life should not be taken for granted... you never know what will happen.

[swimchick10396]

This song is for all of the people who have lost someone, for all the children scared to face life, all the children who never got that chance, for my beloved Nana, for Amanda, only 3, for Alec, for all the temples, and to all those who haven't made it. Everyone should keep their heads up and push through life, and dance while they can.

[raysusan93]

I listen to this song all the time... i lost my son in 93 from a car accident, still never have gotten over it .. things like this cant just go away ... he had no chance .. i wish i could go back , but unfortunaly things dont happen that way , hes alwy in my heart , and think of him every day rip .. my sweet boy... love mommy ...

[czishot12]

[JillianPeacockk]

this song makes me sooo sad.

[RuthK1996]

I luv it. x

[Moegiust]

Love the song but it annoys me the way the copyright holder makes YouTube take down alternative versions, because the song is top-notch but the official visuals bore me. A favorite alternative visual vaporized, leaving a gap in my playlist.

[mslaughoutloud74]

beautiful song.. :)

[curvyfemal]

This song is what your mother always tells you, to do not what your afraid of, to take chances, to not be afraid of life. To still feel small and feel that passion to do anything while still standing next to the ocean, whatever age that you are. To not face those mountains in the distance, which could be anything in. TO say yes to dance! <3 this songs so nice.

[fourtops28]

[SilverSwanSurfing]

this song was dedicated to me years back by my then boyfriend Jerry & too be honest I didn't think much about it then but since he passed away suddenly 2 days before Christmas I've listened to the words of the song alot more closely I realize what a gift he gave me by the words in this song. what meaning they have It also reminds me of what my dad would say too he passed away 08/6/06 how lucky was I 2 have 2 special men in my life. Miss u & luv u with all my heart. til we meet again!
