"I HOPE YOU DANCE" / LEE ANN WOMACK
Some songs just fit Life Events and "life,"
itself. "I Hope You Dance" is one such song: Graduation... Father-Daughter or Mother-Son
Dance... Last Dance of the evening... or just the encouraging song to send to a friend stuck in the slack-tide of life's adversity.
Lee Ann Womack's cross-over hit is the country singer's equivalent to The Irish Blessing which we have all heard.
"I Hope You Dance," is meaningful... and it is beautifully sung by Lee Ann whose clear voice reminds one of Dolly Parton.
Was this tune a "smash hit?"
