A summer place
A summer place
A-a summer a-
Drop that beat
A-a-a-a-a-a-a summer place
A-a-a-a-a-a-a summer place
A-a summer place
There's a summer place
Where it may rain or storm
Yet I'm safe and warm
For within that summer place
Your arms reach out to me
And my heart is free from all cares
For it knows
A-a-a-a-a-a-a summer place (You're ready? Let's do this!)
There are no gloomy skies
When seen through the eyes
Of those who are blessed with love
And the sweet secret of
There's a summer place

I really thought her solo song played with pcd showed how beautiful her voice is, I look forward to all her solo music, I think she and Jessica Sutta should still work together, with Carmit, cos melody is powerfule enough to go solo and kim is with Her Majesty and The Wolves but I htink Carmit, Ashley and Jessica would make a sexy and powerful little trio!
