Thanks for sharing my friend SGT (Join to see) Todd Rundgren performing "Hello It's Me" Full Version.
I was 16 when the song came out and I enlisted two years later.

It is noteworthy to me that Todd Rundgren and I share a common history in growing up:
1. We both were born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania grew up in Upper Darby. [ He is eight years older than me since he was born June 22, 1948. We didn't hang around since he was much older. Several of the people I knew were familiar with him growing up in Upper Darby.
2. His father was of half Swedish and half Austrian descent, and his mother was mostly of German descent. My parents were English citizens.
3. He graduated from Upper Darby High School in 1966 and I graduated in 1974.
4. He was frequently suspended for having long hair [early 1960s]. Things had changed by the 1970s since I had shoulder length hair

Lyrics
Hello, it's me
I've thought about us for a long, long time
Maybe I think too much but something's wrong
There's something here that doesn't last too long
Maybe I shouldn't think of you as mine
Seeing you
Or seeing anything as much as I do you
"I take for granted that you're always there
I take for granted that you just don't care
Sometimes I can't help seeing all the way through"
It's important to me
That you know you are free
'Cause I never want to make you change for me
Think of me
You know that I'd be with you if I could
I'll come around to see you once in a while
Or if I ever need a reason to smile
And spend the night if you think I should
It's important to me
That you know you are free
'Cause I never want to make you change for me
Think of me
You know that I'd be with you if I could
I'll come around to see you once in a while
Or if I ever need your reason to smile
And spend the night if you think I should
Think of me...
Think of me...
Think of me
