As someone who listens to all types of metal, pop, country, and most things inbetween, this is one of my favorite lyrics, and musically it is absolutely splendid.
This is one of my all time favorite songs. It is very fitting for Maya and her next journey in this life. Thank Lee Ann for this all time song and spot on performance.
Danny K Maya introduced this song to Oprah and Oprah had Womack on her show to sing it. I knew it was a special song and it was kinda neat Maya found it inspirational.
+Tina McGee im a gruff grumpy marine and this song almost makes me cry.i love it because its such a beautiful and versatile song sung by such a beautiful woman! some would argue it's country,some would argue it's pop,but I truly believe it actually belongs in the inspirational category!
Beautiful,I love this song...reminds me of my daughters grandmom who was killed in feb 2009 rest in heaven we miss u Barbara Ann ♥♥ rest in heaven Maya Angelou ♥♥
Lee Ann Womack! A perfect name for her - like her singing is perfect! Such a beautiful woman with a beautiful song! I hope one day I get a chance to hug her!
+ETsonggalaxy and unlike some celebrities who put on a good public persona,but are actually not all that nice,shes a sweet lady who probably would let you hug her,and shed probably kiss your cheek!
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.)
Angie O'Connor Gladys and Lee Ann are in 2 different genres, so why you would bother to make a comparison is beyond me. I wouldn't want to hear Gladys singing "I Hope You Dance" or Lee Ann singing " Midnight Train to Georgia". I am confused as to why you even made a comment? You could go to a Gladys Knight clip and praise her there. Maya loved Lee Ann singing this song, so why try to diss her?
Angie O'Connor All well and good, dear. But it made no sense at all, no matter whether you have freedom of speech or not. It was a very odd thing to say, like Gladys (who I love and respect) had done the song "I hope you dance" first and you liked HER version better. Now THAT would have made sense but she didn't sing that particular song so your comment made no sense. Nothing personal.
+Angie O'Connor Sorry, but no. I love Gladys myself, but Lee Ann made this song and NO ONE, no matter how good, can top her version. Plus, this is not a soul song, so it doesn't matter how much soul Gladys sings with. This is a country/ inspirational song, not a "Midnight Train To Georgia" song But I'm curious now. Has Gladys done a cover of "I Hope You Dance"?
Every time I here this song by this wonderful lady it sends chills through me. She is blessed beyond words
so true.
Amen Brother 🙏❣
me 2, just like an old cemetery in the woods,,, look @ the beak on that ole crowe 😬😱
I love this done every time I hear it. I pray to some one who needs it. I Hope you pray
I just know Mya Angelou was smiling. She loved this song! Lee Ann did a great job.
As someone who listens to all types of metal, pop, country, and most things inbetween, this is one of my favorite lyrics, and musically it is absolutely splendid.
I’m right there w/ you!
Country always been straight to heart
my husband attended Dr, Maya service

What a great artist and a perfect song. Just made me cry hearing this. Remembering my baby daughter who's an Angel now.😪
😢😢

Beautiful voice and song. And that dress, what a stunning shade of blue.
A most memorable song for a memorable life.
You can’t really tell but when she does that final “dance…” the whole congregation applauded for her
Beautiful rendition for a beautiful, beautiful, woman-Dr. Angelou! R.I.P. you AMAZING woman!
Lee Ann looks BETTER now than when the song first came out decades ago! Wow!

+Tina McGee im a gruff grumpy marine and this song almost makes me cry.i love it because its such a beautiful and versatile song sung by such a beautiful woman! some would argue it's country,some would argue it's pop,but I truly believe it actually belongs in the inspirational category!
Nobody could have sung the song better than her & it is very inspiring
Tina McGee very inspiring to say the least! after barbera mandrell and George jones,leeann is my favorite singer!

Dance. I hope this for children. TCAP
Who listened to this song on the radio and than searched the song, WHO THE **** CUTTING ONIONS. I play cello
You would think they would have thought to come up with a better way to end this live but this is great nonetheless.
I would've stopped halfway through and busted right into AC/DC Highway to Hell lol pyro and everything
Just awesome
Caged birds can sing
I prefer Gladys knight - she sings with more Soul.

I bothered because its my opinion and my freedom of speech. -

Well she wasn't invited now was she.
