* There is a restart after count 16 on wall 4

* There is a momentary pause in the music at the end of wall 5….please wait

  patiently. .

* On the last wall the music pauses again. You will dance to count 24 and pause.

Resume dance from count 25 when the music (starts 2 beats after he sings 'love me').

We finish the dance at count 38 and then step fwd on R and Slide L to R…. You can too

if you like! (-:

I have always found this song to be incredibly emotive, so much so that until recently I cried every time I heard it. It still affects me like that somewhat, but I am a little more

inured to life's pain these days and can control my emotions more  ably.  Having said

that, I will understand if YOU shed a tear or two, because  if you can feel the love in this

song that makes you pretty special too!

The dance is intermediate level, but it's very manageable in that there are not lots of

turns  and rapid changes of direction that create havoc on the hips and knees.  I hope

you like it and find time to listen to the song as well.   See you on the floor sometime……..Jan
