This song is literally every mother's hopes and dreams for their children...

One of the best country songs of ALL TIME....

I am a Marine Corps wounded three times Vietnam veteran. I was with Echo 2/3 at the Khe Sahn 881 Hill Fights, April, May, 1967. We were overrun by the North Vietnamese on May 3rd. 31 Marines were killed , five in my squad. One minute you are talking to your buddies the next you are are putting them in body bags. I said all this to say life is a promissory note. Do't waste a minute. I had surviver's guilt for a few years then realized the good Lord let me live for a reason. I went on and got my B.A. and Masters, and taught school in East Liverpool, Ohio for 30 years. I taught my students freedom isn't free. SF

My grandma gave me a card with all the lyrics to this song in it when I moved away to college after graduating high school. I tear up every time I hear this song

Can't get enough of those awesome backing vocals. They really add to the song. Lee Ann being a fox doesn't hurt either.. lol

One of my teachers sang this to my class at my fifth grade graduation. I'll never forget it.

This song came out the year my Husband suddenly passed away from a massive heart attack. Our daughter was away at college and struggling with the death of her father and being away from home. When I heard this song it was like a message from her father. I gave her the cd the next time she was home, and told her how moved I was that it was like her Daddy singing this for her. 14 years later and she is still dancing. :)

"When you come close to selling-out, reconsider"

2024. Still a beautiful song! My daughter was 1 year old when this song was out, dominating the charts, And I would always dance with my daughter, singing iit to her.

She straight up nails the vocals

This song is intense brings tears to your eyes inspirational yet sad

Her voice 😍😍😩

tears - immediately transported back to the 2000s

I wish they played this version on the radio. I love Sons of the Desert’s vocals! What a great song.

In pre-SHAZAM times....many years ago.....travelling the Florida keys with friends....heard this song on the radio....drove my friends and many other people crazy while singing this song to them and asking for the singers name....flying home to Europe....at the security checkpoint....still hearing my friends voice...."Oh wait....here...found it for you....have a safe flight home!" Holding a Lee Ann Womack CD in my hands....speechless....flew home....after almost 19 years later...still close to tears.....Nov 19th 2019....Love & Light to you, Lee Ann!

I saw Lee Ann some time ago when I was in the military. It was a free concert for the troops, which she did all the time. It was on the beach in Virginia Beach, Va. It was 50 degrees outside and raining. She sang this song and melted my heart. What an awesome individual with a heart of gold. God Bless you Lee Ann.

Lee Ann is very talented, no question! But the back up is the reason I keep coming back to this song. Their part keeps playing in my head!

My wife, requested as our 2nd song at our Wedding 2006 to get people onto the dance floor after our "first dance" song; well it worked. I miss my wife now that her has pass from cancer in June of 2020. I still love this song an thin of her when i hear it. Thanks for letting me share.

WOW! Now this is Country music! Amazing voice! I hear America, Freedom and Hope in this song. 🇺🇸🦅✝️

This song came out when I was in preschool. I couldn’t listen to it then without sobbing. Im 26 now. I still sob the minute I even hear the intro lol. This song is my Achilles heel lmao.

No auto tune. Raw vocal!

Fabulous live version. Beautiful words, beautiful song, a beautiful and emotional singer and a cracking band.

Amazing! And beautiful!

She has such a beautiful voice 🥺

This song is beautiful. My son plays me this song in the morning as I'm waking up to remind me to appreciate life and the day ahead of us. He's a good kid. Been through hell and back.

I heard this song today on the radio and it made me cry...Very powerful and beautiful message. Live every day to the fullest and appreciate what God has given you even in the toughest times...

This beautiful song reminds me when I lived in Atlanta GA 23 years ago in 2001... I listened to this song when I drove my car to Motorola office every morning... cheers from Indonesia...

this is such a beautiful song

This is one of the most beautiful songs in the history of mankind. ❤😭😭😢🥺

Lee Anne and the sons of the desert...... Texas turns out some awesome talent.

Ugh her voice is so beautiful

I dedicated this beautiful song to my boys some years back... Dillon, Thomas and Paul. Raising them, as we weathered a lot together through the years. And I must say... as they are older now, those words I can still hear myself speaking today, as they journey through life weathering their own storms but knowing there is still a time to dance. As to every thing, there is a season; and a time for every purpose under the heavens. Love Mom~

This song is so beautiful! it makes me cry though 😭

Still the most powerful song I have ever heard ❤️

She's so beautiful isn'nt she. Beautiful voice beautiful song. Everything beautiful.

This is music thats on a higher level than the music of today.

Beautiful song

Sounds so beautiful... I dedicate and share this song to my daughter

Awesome performance! What a stunner with a stunning voice!

Love You Lee Ann, from gretings México!

Love this song.so many memories ❤️

Two of the three backup singers are her brothers. Makes sense that the harmonies are so close.

No one is ever going to do this song better than her.

Those dislikes are for witches, you cant hate this song really. Be blessed as you watch

It is a song that expresses a great philosophy!

A resident of the care home I live at left this world this morning at age 95. In my mind I see her dancing in heaven with her long departed husband;free from the shackles of earth and able to touch the face of God. RIP MB

Gotta have Sons of the Desert with this one.

The perfect "marriage" of the singer and the song. Also thank you very much the full fidelity of the music

That is just a very nice song to listen to.

This is the song I play for my daughter every year for her Birthday, even before happy Birthday. This year she turns 16 and due to a TBI, has lost the last five years of her memories (retrograde amnesia).I have watched her re-learn her life, friends and family with all the tenasity this song represents, she herself is a singer and performer took the stage with in weeks of her fall in front of 200 strangers ( family &friends) and sang her heart out. Back stage though she sat quietly listening to "I hope you Dance" the song gave her the courage to face so many loving, well meaning strangers. Music is her world this song is her anthem to keep trying !

Flawless in every aspect. subtle. beautiful. and the Sons. beautiful.

Just bumped into this song as I was preparing for upcoming event. Wow!! I just loved it instantly. Just the prayer for anyone who is about to brace life , facing whatsoever comes with all they got in them.Thanks and God bless you Lee Ann.We will Dance !!

Lyrics is beautiful and Sons of the Desert made this song.

My Favourite Lee Ann Womack Like You All SONG .💛🧡♥️❤️💙💜🖤💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!

Mama would sing this song to us kids almost every night before bed. We're all grown now, and Mama still sings it to us whenever she gets the chance. It perfectly captures a mothers love and dreams for her children. Thank you, Mama. You did an amazing job with all us. Now it's your turn... to dance!!!

Here in 2022👍 amazing song!

Her voice is so natural and perfect. Sounds just like the studio version

This song is so powerful!

Awesome song, awesome message, awesome singers

It's a beatiful song and a stunning performance. It's refreshing to hear someone not oversing. Perfect tempo, pitch, and delivered with tremendous grace. This woman is incredibly talented and oozes passion without being self-absorbed.

The lyrics are profound. The melody sends a chill up my spine. I can't put this song down !

This is back when you could actually hear the ACOUSTIC guitar in country recordings! And you actually had an acoustic player on the stage.

This song says pretty much all that a song should say.

Wow...Fantastic.

This version does something to me! It's the BEST!! It touches my heart deeply!

I just shared this song with my sweet son. I dedicated it to him. He's graduating high-school and on a brand new journey. I hope he dances. ❤

That band is good. She's beautiful and her voice is perfect. This song definitely deserves all of its success. Thanks for uploading.

OMG She sings so good!!!!!!

Time is a wheel of constant notion always rolling us along. Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder where those years have gone

Lee Ann Womack so talented, so Beautiful. Singing one of my favs... Thank you for posting.

backing vocal got it bang on da bizzzwat!!! nice guys.

truly, one of the all time greatest songs ..timeless !!!!

What a voice this is live amazing

Wow, I've listened to many covers and nun can come close to her the original. Absolutely perfect

A beautiful song by a beautiful woman ❤️

Beautiful song. And she is a beautiful person. I cry everytime I I listen to her.

Just beautiful, and always brings tears....just thinking of my nephew and niece...my hearts!

Them big country boys backdrop on time

This is one beautiful song. Has always been one of my favorites. It to me is about the love whe hold for our children💝

Everything about her is so mesmerizing. Her voice is different from almost all people. Her vocals is very very smooth. The pitch is light and very smooth. Shes one of the best singers ive ever heard. Her voice actually sooths my brain. I had a stroke and its healing by reducing stress and listening to music like hers. Im diabetic so i overdid myself by staring myself of sugar and carbs while being on 4 metformins.

I'm hearing this song for the very first time! Hope I'm not late here? But I promise to make use of the power and inspiration in this - yeah, for me and everyone I meet!

She’s so beautiful

The Sons of the Desert took my breath. Reminded of the Trios from the Metropolitan Opera. They are that great.

The best music

Wow she sounds great live!!

Been dancing mam. Thanks

One of Dale Earnhardt Sr's favourite songs....Everytime I hear this song, I can't help thinking what a tragedy his loss is! #3

This song is so beautiful

Heard this play on the radio a lot. It’s beautiful

Always love her music! I have to say, she is gorgeous!

An absolute classic what a voice

Lee Ann is _TRUE_ country and has the sweetest voice in all of country music. She is truly the yellow rose of Texas. There are so many imposters in this industry. Are you listening Gretchen Wilson?

That violin is perfect.

She is one of the best...and the sweetest. This is what a almost perfect lady looks like.

One of my favorites.

This was a song for my daughter when she was in high school and still today

Those background singers are wicked.

I changed the pronoun to we for our 10th wedding anniversary. We just celebrated 30th years, and this song still stirs my soul. "We've danced!" ❤

One of those songs that will live in our hearts forever.
