I Hope You Dance by Ronan Keating

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 leaves 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
Loving 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 the 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 (time is wheel in constant motion always)
I hope you dance (rolling us along)
I hope you dance (tell me who wants to look back on the years and wonder)
I hope you dance (where those years have gone)


I hope you dance
I hope you're dancing
I hope you're dancing
I pray you're dancing
I hope you dance




> A version of this amazing song, by Lee Ann Womack, was once given to me by an amazing teacher of mine, touching me in a way she would never imagine.


>Now, shaking with tears, I would like to convey this to you.
I'm sorry for the past that hurt you,
I'm sorry that I couldn't straighten it out.
I hope you would find it in your heart to understand.
I hope you would find it in your heart to let me stand beside you.
Even when we don't see each other, I hope you would never doubt my love, my friendship.
Even when you are not with me, I wish for your happiness.
I hope you stay strong, never give up and reach for your happiness.
I wish you well, I wish you all the best.


Love,
Lina.
