PLEASE READ! – (lyrics & dialogue below) I had planned to get this up much earlier but problems prevented it, including losing my video editor. I had to uninstall it and use another, set it up – then work to get the new one to recognize what I’d done of this song (first third of vid) on the old one! Anyway- not my best but not my worst - at least I got it up before the summer ended – barely! lol …vid story -shows our couples experience the sorrows as well as the joys, true soul mates of the ever after kind that even death cannot separate. And though the song is very sad, as always, I tried to end it on a more hopeful, positive note. : ) Enjoy! … Sparkle clip credit Pond5 and VFX...

Dialogue:
Ross (Poldark) – My true, real, and abiding love is for you.
Jamie (Outlander) – You are my home now.
John (The Paradise) – I have prayed for this – to be with you
Prince Leon (Beauty and the Beast) – Forget what you were. I'll go with you wherever you wish to go.
Claire & Jamie (Outlander) - Come and let us live my dear, let us love and never fear… Then let amorous kisses dwell... on our lips, begin and tell… a thousand, and a hundred score, a hundred and a thousand more
Lyrics to “Glades of Summer” performed by Sirenia –
In the fields of summer
I will dance away with you
I never knew the pain would see us through
And though we fear the silence
We never ever realized
That life was only passing gently by
When the darkness seems to fall
Then I can hear you call
Your voice is clearer now than before
And in the summer rain
I'll carry all your pain
If I could only see you again
In the glades of summer
A light still wanes in you
Like winter days long gone
In midst of June
And though the cross feels lighter
On a warm midsummer night
Why do we then still feel so cold inside
When the darkness seems to fall
Then I can hear you call
Your voice is weaker now than before
And in the summer rain
You gave in to your pain
And life will never be the same again
(coming up: more PotO and Outlander… )
