I Hope You Dance - Lee Ann Womack with Sons of Desert (full lyrics) 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\u0027ll give faith a fighting chance 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\u0027 might mean takin\u0027 chances, but they\u0027re worth takin\u0027 Lovin\u0027 might be a mistake, but it\u0027s worth makin\u0027 Don\u0027t let some hell bent heart leave you bitter When you come close to sellin\u0027 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) I hope you dance (always rolling us along) I hope you dance (tell me who wants to look back on their years) I hope you dance (and wonder 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\u0027ll 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) I hope you dance (always rolling us along) I hope you dance (tell me who wants to look back on their years) I hope you dance (and wonder where those years have gone) Tell me who wants to look back on their years (dance) And wonder where those years have gone (dance)
