Level: Intermediate
Walls: 4
Count: 40
Bridge/restart: no
Start: Feet together, weight on right foot

Note: The album version of the Aaron Lines track has a pause in the
music near the end of the song, just hold until the beat resumes. The
radio/single edits do not have this pause, nor does the Westlife
track (which is slightly faster & is the non-country alternative).

This dance was choreographed for the "Brett Jenkins & Paul Snooke"
workshop held at St Marys 21st June, 2003.

Note: Counts 13-16 were worded differently on the original dance sheet,
however I have written the steps above as Paul taught the dance. At the
time he wrote the sheet he was unsure how to describe the steps.
