I Hope You Dance
 
Copyright Alice E. Steimle - 2003
When I heard the music I just had to dance
I didn't know what I was doing, but I would take the chance
Mama played the radio, the music I could hear
That would start up my feet, and it would bring on cheer

Mama took me to meet Lois Wick one sunny day
I showed her what I could do and I was on my way
Then I learned to tap those shoes, or dance upon my toes
It really didn't matter, cause the music led to shows

My folks were so proud of me, I went to New York City
I met the Rockettes, but there they had much pity
My feet were so sore, you see, the blisters told the story
I just had to dance around, but that was ok by me

It doesn't matter what type of music, I still just love to dance
Soon I be going up North again, dance with my sons, by chance
So fellas put your dancing shoes on, we're coming home
We won't be staying long, ya know, cause we love places to roam
