Requested by: trehuginhipee and DanaiLin1200 Thank you so much for the request! Enjoy!! Lyrics: I hope the days come easy and the moments pass slow, And each road leads you where you wanna go, And if you’re faced with a choice, and you have to choose, I hope you choose the one that means the most to you. And if one door opens to another door closed, I hope you keep on walkin’ till you find the window, If it’s cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile. But more than anything, more than anything… My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to, Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small, You never need to carry more than you can hold, And while you’re out there getting where you’re getting to, I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too, Yeah, this, is my wish. I hope you never look back, but you never forget, All the ones who love you, in the place you left, I hope you always forgive, and you never regret, And you help somebody every chance you get, Oh, you find God’s grace, in every mistake, And always give more than you take. But more than anything, yeah, more than anything… My wish, for you, is that this life .

  1. Allyballybabe, you are by far azing at signing. I am also learning ASL and I plan on being a deaf ed teacher or a psychiatrist for not only the hearing but for the deaf too. I love the Deaf culture and everything about ASL. I find it incredible what you do on here. It’s not only entertaining, but I find it very educational.

  2. Hey your really good. do you think you could do an asl vid to the song Stand by rascal flatts. im doing for a project and i want to do asl with it…

  3. Is there a difference between the sign “I hope” and the sign “why”?
    They seem to be similar.

  4. i just LOVE your videos! is there any way you could do “Come What May” from the movie moulin rouge? i think it would be so powerful in sign… 🙂

  5. Wow, I don`t know why but this is probably one of my favourites. Seems so profound to sign. I`m starting to do this myself with my aunt.

  6. I did this song for my HS graduation, wish i’d known the signs to do along with it, that woulda been awesome to do! You’re so amazing hun, keep up the good work. =D

  7. I just love this! I could watch you do this over and over again. I have two deaf cousins that I would love to communicate with. Thanks for the inspiration to start classes!!!

  8. You are so beautiful in blue. And I think this is the only country song I like thanks to you and ASL.

  9. wow allyballybabe please reply to me but i love asl sooo much i wish i was asl and thats MY WISH. i have a csl story there is this girl named lilly.she is my friend my moms friend adopted her from china. she is really nice! i am teaching her asl.

  10. It’s amazing how much more confident you’ve gotten over time. Now, it is so easy that you have lots of fun and have no doubt about the meaning and the signs. I love signing songs more than anything but I have lost much of my signing without someone to sign with….Also, I had a general question. I have never seen the movement you use when the “singer” is saying “ooh” or something similar. Does it have a particular meaning or just to show that someone is singing?

  11. That being said, this signer is truly AMAZING and in my opinion one of the most “ASL accurate” renditions I’ve seen in awhile on here. I have signed this song myself, and saw ways she “interpreted” phrases/concepts that I never considered, and I have been interpeting for 15 years. I think she has an amazing career ahead of her, if she doesn’t already. Kudos!

  12. I wish people wouldn’t be so critical of others. ASL is such a complex and personalized langauge and everyone is at different levels of there development. Also, ASL is based on concepts, not words, so one phrase can be expressed many ways, none of which is “wrong.” (ex: is “see ya later” so different than “bye for now”? Different words- same idea.) This is youtube, not a Gallaudet telecourse. So just enjoy or move on to another video. That being said… see next post… 😉

  13. You do such a great job signing. I am starting to learn to sign to become a teacher and watching you really helps. If you could, I would really appreciate it if you would do a video to teach me how to sign “My Wish.” My parents evangelize and I don’t get to see much anymore. I would love to sign this song for them if you have time to teach it to me. If not I understand. Thx so much.~Ash

  14. She signs dreams big, worry small. Remember though, she is from Texas, so depending on where you are from, some signs could be different. I sign dream and worry differently than she does. Just depends. Some deaf people like certain signs over others.

  15. Does anyone know what she is signing for dream when it says “Your dreams stay big” at the beginning and “May all your dreams come true” at the end of the song?
