Inspired by my children and written for the child in all of us after September 11, 2001, this gentle lullaby reminds us that we are never alone. Perfect to share with anyone who feels separated from someone they love.
I Will Always Be With You is a 32-page, 5 1/2" X 7" full-color book packaged with the musical CD affixed to the back inside cover...we illustrated the lyrics into this amazing little book.
Here's the story behind this gift:
After September 11, 2001, my heart ached for all those children who lost their parents...and for all those parents who lost their children. As a mother, that is one of my greatest fears-to think my children will be without me. As a professional harpist, I use music to express my feelings, so one October evening I was playing a new melody on the harp. Our two sons named the melody, I Will Always Be With You then went to bed. My heart opened and the words came. In 15 minutes the song was complete. It was so simple...yet it said everything.
With two of my dear friends, Bridgette Kossor (vocals) and Michelle Fiorino (violinist), we recorded the song as a single CD with 3 tracks:
Track 1 is a vocal version with harp & violin accompaniment
Track 2 is an instrumental version with harp & violin
Track 3 is a solo harp version
Now...through the gifted hand of Alissa Shoults, this lullaby has form. She has captured the message and energy of these timeless words into heartwarming illustrations to share with anyone you hold close to your heart.
Here are some of the lyrics to give you an idea of the message:
When you're sleeping
When you're dreaming
I will always be with you
When the wind blows
When the snow falls
I will always be with you
When the sun comes up each morning
When the stars come out at night
When you look up at a rainbow
I'll be there...
All the memories that we share
Can be found within your heart
So no matter where we are
We are never apart...
It is a dream come true for me to be able to share this message of peace, hope, comfort, connection and unconditional love with others.
Please consider sharing this simple gift of love with anyone you know who has endured the aftermath of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, military families who are separated from their loved ones, parents of newborn babies, a friend or family member experiencing grief, a son/daughter growing up and moving out on their own, a mother/father who gave you everything they could to help you become who you are today, or anyone you feel connected to in your heart.
We Love It !! Really helps our patients relax.

Musically beautiful and lyrically heart touching in all three versions
Reviewer: Robin Price
This CD can touch the heart of anyone who has lost a loved one under so many circumstances, from the tragic loss to the loss of an aged, sick parent. The thought that the lyrics convey is so reassuring. The music is so soothing and beautiful. What a wonderful blessing and ministry to those who grieve.
Touches that deep place within
Reviewer: excerpt from book review
Listening to this Cd is hautingly beautiful, soothing, and meditative. Amy, a professional harpist, has a unique gift in the way her music touches that deep place within each listener. Now accompanying her music is her fully illustrated book of the same title,"I Will Always Be With You." Although children will love the words, music and illustrations, this is a book for all ages. It makes a beautiful gift for that someone special, young and in-between. The words and music combined bring a special quality of deep peace and a feeling that out there somewhere, somebody will always love you.
A Gift from God
Reviewer: a letter Amy received
I have listened to your song over and over. Each time a tear comes to my eye even tho I already know the words and what is being said. This was a gift from God to you. The words touch the inner being of all who listen to it. It absolutely has the ability to heal and express a love that is pure and sincere. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Beautiful!
Reviewer: Peggy Vasquez
What a beautiful melody and lyrics! I was amazed when I received the CD in the beautifully illustrated book. I was also moved by the inspiration behind the writing, "written as a lullaby for the child in all of us after September 11, 2001."
Very precious
Reviewer: Janet Glazebrook
The song on this cd has helped me through a family death and I sent one of the cds I bought to a family who has two small children whose dad just died from cancer at 30 yrs old. This cd is a gift from god...and very, very moving.
