I Hope You Dance - Lee Ann Womack

This popular country piece begins with an 8 bar introduction. It is then followed by a parallel period. This serves as the melody to each of the verses. The next part is a 4 measure phrase. This phrase is the chorus of the song. The sequence repeats, but with different words. After that, the first phrase of the melody repeats with another round of the chorus. The chorus then repeats one last time. The song then fades out. The melody is simple and catchy. And the meaning of the words is very meaningful.
