Mid tempo feeling rocker about introspection.
Story behind the song
I was reflecting on how things change during life (I'm over 50), especially when I realized I can't recall what my first wife's face looks like.

Part of You Part of Me

==============================
( Verse 1 )
I came into being
For just the time being
In a breath I was there then gone
All that I had
Was a one night stand
It was gone by the break of dawn
New lives come along
Some short and some long
Barely a thread of me through them all
Faces and places
A memory that chases
Everything I can still recall
( Chorus )
If I could meet myself
An old memory up on a shelf
Would either of us know the other
And who would who befriend
I only wish that I knew
How many deaths I'll live through
Before I breathe my final breath and
Who will I be by then
( Solo )
Part of you dies in life's changes
It was there and then it's gone
Parts you can never undo or repeat
Part of you is born new in exchanges
It wasn't there but comes on strong
The parts of you that make you complete
( Bridge )
I was someone's kid
Someone's husband and
Someone's parent
I was a janitor
A baker and a sailor
I was a Presbyterian
An Atheist and a Buddhist
( Repeat Chorus )
