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
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 sellin' 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....I hope you dance.
I hope you dance....I hope you dance.
Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along,
Tell me who wants to look back on their years 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'll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.
Dance....I hope you dance.
I hope you dance....I hope you dance.
I hope you dance....I hope you dance..
Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along
Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder where those years have gone

For some reason, your picture didn't load...don't know why!
Ran across your Pay it Forward Button, that is a great idea. I took the button and see what I will do with it. Blessings

Thank you for the nice comment you left -- but I guess I'll keep the chairs for now ... if I get tired of them, I'll give you a holler!

I love this song. The message is so appropriate for so many occasions.

Hi there,
Thanks for the visit and comment. I have been painting all day! The room is not going to be anything like any of the pictures I posted. Oh well, I still like them.
I signed up to follow you too.

I have always loved that song. Such a beautiful sentiment and the BEST advice.:) Thanks for the reminder.
oh my gosh! I have that exact picture in my living room. My husband bought it for me one year as an Anniversary gift-I love that picture! Thanks for stopping by today.
Lovely Post!! And happy almost 200!!! Well Done You!
Hugs,Lisa
I love that song. I gave that song and book to my daughter when she moved to VA several years ago to work and go to college.
I have really been going thru some trials lately and I need to focus on all the good things in my life...because I really have a lot to be thankful for even in the middle of turmoil. I think I will go dance! ;-)
What a great song, and I enjoyed reading through the lyrics. I love uplifting posts!

I've always liked that picture. And I really like the song. Now, they go together in my head, making them both even better. If somebody doesn't give it to me, I'll have to get it for myself.
And, yes. I do wake up with songs stuck in my head.
Thanks for this reminder that even though every day may not be the happiest that we should still 'dance' and make the most of life, not taking any second for granted. I love this song and the video always brings a tear to the eyes.
