3	"I Cried Too" Song I Cried Too^©song was written one month and one day after the 9-11 attack. I was thinking about the children in New York when I wrote the song.	Written and Performed by Sheila Schmidt Background Vocals: Louis & Kim Drapp Guitar, Piano: Louis Drapp Drums: Ben Bennett Violin & Mandolin: Shelby Eicher Engineered at Drapp Studios Produced by Sheila Schmidt and Louis Drapp (A special thank you to Kim Drapp)	"I cried too, on the day your heart was shattered. I cried too, on the day your life was changed. I cried too, I really felt your pain, and I want you to know that more than these my heart goes out to you cause, I cried too. If I could wrap you in my arms to protect you from the pain, I would gladly take your little arms and pull you close to me. Cause no one as little as you should know this kind of pain. So know from my heart to yours that. I cried too, on the day your heart was shattered. I cried too, on the day your life was changed. I cried too, I really felt your pain, and I want you to know that more than these my heart goes out to you, cause I cried too. I spent some time with my Lord today, just talking to him about you. I asked Him to take care of you, and protect you from all harm, and then I heard a still small voice and knew these words were for you, cause then I heard Him say. I cried too, on the day their heart was shattered. I cried too, on the day their lives were changed. I cried too, I really felt their pain, and I want them to know that more than these I am there for them, cause I cried too."

Just remember, when Jesus lost a friend, He cried. You're graced when you feel you've lost what is most precious to you. That's when you can be embraced by the one most dear to you. Sometimes there are no words to take away the pain, but like Jesus we are to place our faith in God. You're graced when you feel you've lost what is most precious to you. That's when you can be embraced by the one most dear to you. When tragedies happen, it's okay to cry. Just remember, when Jesus lost a friend, He cried."

Seeing her smiling face, exploring something new. Everybody opening presents and laughing on Christmas day. Hoping with all they may that you like what they gave to you. These are the moments that I've longed for, each and every day. These are the moments that I've prayed for, every time I've prayed. These are the moments, the moments I've shared with you. These are the moments, the only moments that are true. In a kiddy pool out back, splashing and making waves. Giggling as they play, whispering secrets that they make. Eating mountains of ice-cream, chocolate all over his face Never slowing his pace loving every bite he takes. Never once will I take them for granted. Never once over-look them again. These moments are worth more than forever and more, so much more. These are the moments that I've longed for, each and every day. These are the moments that I've prayed for, every time I've prayed. These are the moments, the moments I've shared with you. These are the moments, the only moments that are true."
