Story Behind The Song
This song is that moment after the initial shock and overwhelming loss that you feel from missing a loved one. It is the beginning of acceptance. The idea of facing the future knowing that the person you love will never be in your life again.
Song Description
"Dreaming of Summer, Dreaming of You" is an emotionally charged vocal blues piece built around a soulful groove. The verses stay rooted in a classic blues feel--intimate, honest, and understated--while the chorus opens into a lifting of the melody without losing the blues character of the vocal. This contrast creates a memorable hook and a strong emotional pull, pairing longing with a sense of fragile hope.

Lyrics
Dreaming of Summer, Dreaming of You
I've been down
Dreaming of stars
Dreaming of clouds
Dreaming of you
I've been cold
Dreaming of warm
Dreaming of summer
Dreaming of you
(Chorus)
All the while
I've been waiting
Wondering why
Forever's so long
Wondering how
I'll ever make it
When all of these dreams are gone
Its been dark
I been dreaming of light
Dreaming of sunshine
Dreaming of you
Ive been quiet
Dreaming of singing
Dreaming of solace
Dreaming of you
(chorus)
All the while
I've been waiting
Wondering why
Forever's so long
Wondering how
I'll ever make it
When all of these dreams are gone
