Part Of Me Part Of You
Glenn Frey Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I felt it when the sun came up this morning
I knew I could not wait another day
Darling, there is something I must tell you
A distant voice is calling me away

Until we find a 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 hear that lonesome highway
So many miles to go before I die

We can never know about tomorrow
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 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 a 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

My husband of 30 years passed away in FL the day our electricity came back on after hurricane Ian. He was the love of my life & my soulmate. This is the song I'm going to play at his memorial when we do the balloon release in the end. Thank you Glen Frey for all the great music you put out over the years, but this is by far the only song i could find to do justice to our love story. 💔 My heart is broken, but I know I'll never walk alone. Please pray for me as I put him to rest & try to continue without him. And pray God holds him tight since I can't anymore. 🙏
