More About This Book

Overview

"I hope you never lose your sense of wonder.
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean.
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance.
And when you get the chance to sit it out or dance ---
I hope you dance."

With messages as simple as these, Mark D. Sanders and Tia Sillers have written this year’s most memorable song --- "I Hope You Dance" --- recorded by Lee Ann Womack.

"I Hope You Dance," winner of the 2000 Single and Song of the Year awards at the 2000 CMA awards, in addition to being atop the charts for six weeks, is now the subject of a book written by songwriters Sanders and Sillers with an introduction by the recording artist, Lee Ann Womack.

I Hope You Dance takes these thought provoking lyrics that have touched the hearts and imaginations of people of all ages, the whole world over, and expands on their ideas of courage, hope, faith, love, and most importantly just getting out and trying.

Filled with beautiful, full-color illustrations by Nashville-based Grammy Award winning Jackson Design, and containing a special acoustic version of "I Hope You Dance" recorded by Lee Ann Womack just for this project, I Hope You Dance is a wonderful way to tell someone you care about that you hope they jump in and experience all life has to offer.

As Lee Ann Womack says in the introduction of this book about the song she made a hit across the globe, If my children understand the meanings of these lyrics when they are grown, then I have done my job as a mother.

ISBN: 9781558538443



Chapter One

How many times have my wishes and my dreams and my prayers for you hidden beneath my breath?

How many times have I looked at you, heart in my throat, hands in my pockets, a smile on my face, just wanting to say ...

I HOPE YOU NEVER LOSE YOUR SENSE OF WONDER

WHAT IS HOPE

What is hope? To want? To desire? To expect that what's envisioned may indeed happen? YES to all of the above. Is hope that gut feeling that it's worthholding out and hanging on for just a little longer? ABSOLUTELY. Is hope the core of the human condition? CERTAINLY. Can you have hope without faith and humility and wonder? THAT 'S TOUGH. Just the thought that there's something bigger, something truer, something totally surprising out there waiting for us is ... priceless.

What would you be without hope growing deep in your bones, thriving in every inch of you? NOTHING.

Hope takes never ceasing to be amazed ...

Wearing your soul on your sleeve ...

Holding your breath, waiting to hear "I love you, too ..."

Believing that tomorrow could be better than today ... that you'll get a second chance ... that you'll make a difference ... that you matter.

YOU GET YOUR FILL TO EAT BUT ALWAYS KEEP THAT HUNGER

Hunger is the wanting: to see more to feel more to touch more to crave, desire, search out, find, hold more. And sometimes hunger hurts more. But go on, go west, young man, young woman. Plow the land, plant the seeds, grow the food for the whole wide world.

MAY YOU NEVER TAKE ONE SINGLE BREATH FOR GRANTED

SO BREATH OUT AND BREATHE IN

(AND SOAK IT ALL UP)

GOD FORBID LOVE EVER LEAVE YOU EMPTY-HANDED

But if it does, may it leave you patient and stronger, willing and wiser, tender and tougher.

I HOPE YOU STILL FEEL

SMALL WHEN YOU STAND BESIDE THE OCEAN



Continues...

    My friend died of cancer a few years ago

    My friend was dying of cancer and before she got really sick she and her husband had a second wedding. She sang this song to her two small girls at the wedding. I know they will always remember her when they hear it. She wanted them to enjoy life after she was gone and always dance. In memory of Yali Garcia

    TO HAVE NO LIMITS!!

    In my life I have felt restricted by my fears. After having experienced this book I realized that I cannot allow my son to adapt these same feelings. Although he is still very young I see things in him that I want to hold on to and I hope he will always cherish. I'm buying this book to share with him and to instill in him the courage I have found. And I hope he learns to never loose his innocence.

    May you always dance!

    I read this book once from a friend who got it from her mother as a birthday present. Which I thought was such a sweet and great gift from the heart. I remember saying to myself that I have to get this book sooner or later in life for my child(thats when I ever have kids). This book is so beautiful and the words are so true & inspiring. Also unforgetable and heartfelt. I already have the cd. The song is so precious and lovely from beginning to end. Just like the book. I hope you all dance!

    This Is One Of My Favorite Songs

    I heard this song at the end of a Tyler Perry movie, "Family That Preys" and Gladys Knight sings it. Then, I heard Carrie Underwood and Lee Ann Womack both sing it. It makes my heart soar each time and definitely a must have. To know there is a book to accompany it, I am so happy.

    Great book for a pick me up

    My sister died suddenly in an accident. We played this song at her funeral along with a picture slideshow. I pick this book up on a regular basis and read through it, because it makes me think of my moments with her. It reminds to me to keep living and smiling, like she would want me to do.

    Great!

    I first read this book at a friends house, I was going through my "I hate the world" moments. I thought it was so beautiful and poetic. Even though it didn't cause change in me (my friend later bought me a copy) I know that if I ever meet anyone that needs a pick me up, I will quote this book. Truly beautiful.

    a reviewer

    this book is phenomenal. as simple it may seem, this book contains a beautiful message within. i gave this to my favorite language arts teacher in her birthday. before buying it, i had stood in Barnes&Noble reading it entirely. i planned just to skim through it, however when i began reading it, i could not stop. My teacher loved this book. she even says she plans to use 'i hope you dance' as her wedding song. this book was so great, that a week later, i decided i needed one for my self and my mother. my mother is battling cancer and loved the hope that can be extracted from that book. today i always carry this book in my purse, and whenever a friend is feeling down, i let them lend the book and listen to the song. this book left me speechless. i know a great book when i see one.

    Great Book.

    The very first time that I heard this song, I knew I had to get it for my daughter. I found the book a while back and was so excited. It says everything that I hope and wish for her as she gets older. She is only 7 right now, but I plan to give the book to her later. I think that it is something that she will treasure. It is a great little book.

    Loved it!

    I loved this book so much! My sister bought it for herself one day, and made me read it. I actually cried when I finished the book. I love this song so much, and now I have to buy the book for myself!

    She did dance

    My little girl Leslie has motor skill problems and high functioning autism. When I put her in ballet - she was awkward, and her ballance took every bit of her concentration. With her arms up high and she stood on her toes, -She danced to this song on her recital. She was 15 years old and she worked day and night to be a ballerina. I bought her the book and the CD and she was so proud of it. I watch the tape of her dancing and my dream is one day - we will again find a special dance teacher and she will dance. This is Leslie's song. In my heart it always will be the wishes that I have for my little girl.

    I Hope You Dance

    I have been dancing since I was 4 years old. I am now 18. My mom gave me this book at my last dance recital at the place I had been dancing at for 15 years. After dancing my senior solo, my first dance teacher and my mom came up to give me flowers and my mom presented a gift to me. The gift was this book. She also told me 'When you have to make a choice between dancing and not dancing; In hope you dance.' I will mom; I will always dance.
