Interpersonal Connection
Though I wasn’t an Eagles fan, I certainly was upset to hear about the passing of Glenn Frey earlier this week.
When my daughter was about eight, I set her on my lap, played this song for her, and asked her to read the lyrics with me. At the end, I told her: “You’re a part of me, I’m a part of you, and that will be so forever.” Thanks Glenn, for making that moment possible.
“Part Of Me, Part Of You”
I felt it when the sun came up this morning
I knew that I could not wait another day
Darling, there is something I must tell you
A distant voice is calling me away
Until we find the bridge across forever
Until this grand illusion brings us home
You and I will always be together
From this day on you’ll never walk alone
You’re a part of me, I’m a part of you
Wherever we may travel
Whatever we go through
Whatever time may take away
It cannot change the way we feel today
So hold me close and say you feel it too
You’re a part of me and I’m a part of you
I can hear it when I stand beside the river
I can see it when I look up in the sky
I can feel it when I…
So many miles to go before I die
We can never know about tomorrow
But still we have to choose which way to go
You and I are standing at the crossroads
Darling, there is one thing you should know
You’re a part of me, I’m a part of you
Wherever we may travel
Whatever we go through
Whatever time may take away
It cannot change the way we feel today
So hold me close and say you feel it too
You’re a part of me and I’m a part of you
I look at you your whole life stands before you
I look at me and I’m running out of time
Time has brought us here to share these moments
To look for something we may never find
Until we find the bridge across forever
Until this grand illusion brings us home
You and I will always be together
From this day on you’ll never walk alone
You’re a part of me, I’m a part of you
Wherever we may travel
Whatever we go through
Whatever time may take away
It cannot change the way we feel today
So hold me close and say you feel it too
You’re a part of me and I’m a part of you
part of you, part of me, part of you
part of me, part of you
