*NOTE: When dancing this dance for the first time, you will notice two times the music

will cut back into the chorus, you will restart the dance from where you are at the

beginning when this occurs on the 2nd wall and 6th wall. Both times when you start the

dance again at these changes, you will of just done beats 39&40 of the dance (The 1&2

beat 360 spin L) aka. - At the end of page 1. (miss out on the last 8 beats)

CHOREOGRAPHERS NOTE: This is a lovely non - country music song and is a nice dance

with a lot of & counts in it, but don't fear anyone will be able to get the dance

with concentration. Hope you enjoy the dance and remember to have fun ! xxx
