This song is dedicated to the life of Princess Diana
Story behind the song
Cason had her reasons for composing the Queen of Hearts.... The most noticeable painting of music on the Forver In Bloom CD is the song Queen of Hearts, which Shirley dedicates to the life of Princess Diana. It begins with the church bells that rang in the Town Square as Princess Diana's funeral procession approached the church. Cason states, " I started out the song with the bells of the church because they moved me to tears when I watched it on TV. While I watched, I remembered that Princess Diana was a ballerina. It was then I decided that the Queen of Hearts would start out with the church bells then move into a classical piano section to notes Princess Diana's love for classical music. French accordions were blended in after the piano section to add a "Euro sound" to the song. The song finishes with just the piano and strings. It is at this point that I see Princess Diana dancing again to the classical music she so dearly loved."
Lyrics
No beauty nor gold no riches of Kings
Could keep me from my love forever to be
I made a wish and here you are
Lying besides me with all your charm
You are my love forever now
Beds lace with satin, diamonds and pearls
Will never give true love to this world
Make a wish upon a star
To find your true love look in your heart
That's the place that you should start
And in the springtime flowers will bloom
Love is in the air
Even the mountains will sing this tune
Love is everywhere!
So now you know what you must do
To find the Queen of Hearts inside of you
Make a wish, be who you are!
Then you'll find true love within your heart
It was there right from the start!
