I hope you dance

I'm not the type of guy to watch a movie or an episode of anything more than once, unless ofcourse it's Glee or High School Musical. In fact I find very few movies 'worth' repeating. I remember growing up to some good tv, my weekends were always jam-packed with movie dates with myself. Starting out with Craze-Fridays at 14h30, then being mesmerized by the the cheesy yet well-intended Saturday afternoon and evening movies on etv. Those were the days! I'd go as far as saying that the people of my generation probably had the best upbringing. 

My all time favourite movie has got to be the 1988 classic: Bettlejuice ( link to the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hovKm9oFiM) . I can't say why. I just fell in love with the movie. I actually haven't seen it in years, so I can't recall details , but I know it starts off with a newly-wedded couple dying in a car accident. Don't freak out just yet- it is wasn't horrific. You might actually find their death quite funny.  I guess this saying is true: "They may not remember what was said (the details), but they will remember how it made them feel ". Puts to words my feelings about this movie.

The reason I'm writing is 'cause over the past few days I've had this strong urge to watch some good Tyler Perry movies. So that has been the mission. This evening I have been watching : The family that preys. 
During one of the scenes the characters discuss the journey of life, whilst in the background a beautiful song by Lee Ann Womack titled " I hope you dance " plays.


I thought I would share the lyrics:

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
Living might mean taking chances but they're worth taking
Lovin' might be a mistake but it's worth making

Don't let some hell-bent heart leave you bitter
When you come close to selling 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
(Time is a wheel in constant motion always)
I hope you dance                                                                     
(Rolling us along)
I hope you dance
(Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder)
I hope you dance
(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
(Dance)
I hope you dance
(Time is a wheel in constant motion always)
I hope you dance
(Rolling us along)
I hope you dance
(Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder)
I hope you dance
(Where those years have gone)

Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder
(Dance)
Where those years have gone
(Dance)

Yours in the dance
