Lyrics for "A Summer Dream" CD  
~ This is "The Story", behind this album ~ ~

1.  SPRINGTIME     Springtime was Carol's favorite song. The meadows are turning green and yellow the yellow sun is burning upon my back... whoa... So please stay with me in the Springtime and say that you'll always..be mine... whoa... I'd be lost without you and wouldn't know which way to turn Please say that you'll love me that's all I'm concern... We'll go strolling in the meadows in the night keep on holding me tight.. and I'll be alright... whoa... in the Spingtime... The meadows are turning red and golden the cold wind is blowing across my back whoa... Autumn has passed...at last! here comes good old Winters' snows again... whoa... And it snows again... (It snows again...) When will it all end? (When will it all end?) I'll just have to wait for Springtime again! The meadow are turning green and yellow the yellow sun is burning upon my back... whoa... So please stay with me in the Springtime say that you'll always... always be mine... whoa... In the Springtime... In the Springtime... In the Springtime... Mmmm... 2. COME OUT AND PLAY I just wanted to go fishing again with my sister... Carol...come out and play! Carol...it's sunny all day! Open your eyes, and say hello... Hold on my hand and say, "let's go!" Carol...don't go away! Carol...stay here and play! I'm way too young, to lose you right now... My heart will break without you around! When are you going to wake up and look into my eyes? When are you going to get up and tell me you're just fine? Carol...come on let's play! Carol...it's sunny all day! Put on your makeup, put on your coat... We gotta go fishing at the lake we love! Carol...Oh Carol... Carol... Sweet Carol...

3. THE CALLING     Carol kept seeing Mommy at the end of her bed... I hear voices in the night deep in my dreams, I see a bright light I then open my eyes and there she is My mother is calling, calling for me I don't understand what is going on She looks real to me, but she's been long gone She's telling me it's time for me to move on My mother is calling from the beyond It's time to cross the river... It's time to be free... from feeling so sick from this disease It's time to cross over... don't worry about goodbyes... you'll be in your family's hearts until the end of time I called my sister the next day I asked what it meant... she didn't know what to say... We pondered for hours on the telephone line Why is mommy calling, calling me at this time? I hear my last prayers... I'm so tired and can't move... My whole family is here... I can feel them in the room... The sky is opening wide and now I can see through the clouds!... My mother is calling, calling out loud! She's calling with open arms... you're an angel now... You're free from the pain that once held you down... I know now why God sent Mommy down... Who else would I have believed... it's was time for me now... 4.  SUMMER OF 98   No one knew how this summer would end... 5. LOST   I felt so lost...I couldn't help Carol get well... 6.  LAST WALK   Carol couldn't walk away, from the inevitable... 7.  I LOVE YOU, I DO... Life is about love...It never ends... Can you hear the words I say to you? In my own way I'm saying I love you... Can you see my heart is dying for you? I love you...I do In the night when I cry for you I wish God would come and heal you... Can't believe that I am losing you I love you...I do I love you...I do I do.... 8. LAST BREATH We were all with Carol at this time . . . Thank you God . . .

9. MA MA  I wish my mom were here now... Mama...where are you now? Mama...can't see your face... Mama...wish I could now... hold you in my arms again. Mama...deep in my dreams... Mama...I hear your voice... Mama...wish I could now... see your green eyes once more. When I wish upon a star in the midnight sky... I feel you looking sad at me... you're wondering...why I cry Mama...I know you're here... Mama...your presence's near... Mama...stay close to me... until we all meet again Until we all meet again... Mama... Mama... Mama.............. 10. A SUMMER DREAM  font color=003366> Love lives forever Dreams are all I have of you In the night when I feel all alone It's then that I can talk to you It is then that I feel at home Once upon a summer day I thought that you went away You came into my dreams to say you are gone but not far away (CHORUS) I'll see you in my dreams. For in dreams we never die I'll see you in my dreams and together we will fly To the stars and to the moon To the mountain then to the seas We'll be together you and I together in my dreams. Then there will come a day when I'll need to dream no more We'll walk hand and hand again and be together once more. Soon we'll hear our loved ones cry Please come see me again We'll fly into their dreams at night and walk with them once again (CHORUS) We'll see them in their dreams for in dreams we never die We'll see them in their dreams and together we will fly To the stars and to the moon To the mountains then to the seas We'll be together you and I together in their dreams... For in dreams is where we'll live In their dreams we never die But until we meet again... I'll dream of you tonight... I'll see you in my dreams... I'll see you in my dreams... tonight...tonight... in God's light..........

Behind the music of "A Summer Dream" with Shirley Cason This CD will takes you on a soulful journey with 10 new age songs given ambient overtones. The music will leave you feeling quite different than you thought it would. Cason's piano is complemented with her orchestral and soft synthesized arrangements. You can tell that Shirley placed all of the songs in a particular order on A Summer Dream that re-lived her summer of 98. Her cinematic music of "Last Breath", will do just that to you. This song is one for the movies ! The last song, which is the title track, finishes your musical journey with hope that all dreams are more than just another dimension of reality. Cason has taken us into a world that we all fall into when we dream and gives us hope that the dreams we dream are real... Just maybe when we dream of our love ones who have passed on..... we are really there with them... holding on to our hands on the other side of life...   in our dreams.. WE can only Hope !  Shirley   ~:~

Cover Photography: The fishing chair on the CD cover of the big Sun flower was Carol's at the lake. She loved to go fishing for bass & catfish... All the "Black Eye Susans" flowers in the banner, on top of this page, came from my sister's backyard. Oh how she loved yellow flowers ~ ~ ~ Artist Comments: This CD is very personal to me, because of that, I recommend you listen to the CD first without reading the lyrics. Then.... listen to it and follow along with the lyrics. This way you can have two version in your mind. One that is light, and one that will be personal to you as well. I want to thank my family and friends for their help and support in recording this CD.

CD Review A SUMMER DREAM by Kathy Parson - Mainly Piano.com Cason wrote lyrics for many of the songs and included them in the liner notes for listeners to look at as they listen, giving more insight into the meaning of the songs. Without the lyrics, though, the songs are very evocative and powerful, allowing the listener to attach his or her own experiences to them as shared emotions. On a personal note, I lost my dad to cancer at about the same time Shirley lost her sister, and I found this album to be an amazing journey down a familiar path. I hope composing this music brought Cason some peace, as it will certainly be a comfort to others. Read more

CD Review - A SUMMER DREAM by Bill Binkelman New Age Reporter.com Reviewing a CD that is obviously quite personal and openly emotional for the artist, as is the case with Shirley Cason's A Summer Dream, is difficult because, frankly, it's impossible to be as objective as a critic should be (provided one has any feelings, that is). A Summer Dream is dedicated to (and more or less themed around) Shirley's sister, Carol, who passed away in the summer of 1998. Having lost both my parents, the loss of family members certainly hits a chord with me. Read more
