Story Behind The Song
We were in Nashville writing and looking for songs the week of 9/11/01. This song was one of 120 we brought home with us and we didn't realize what a gem it was until later. This song has been my personal anthem for over a year now and I'm so proud to be able to sing it. I love you, Kimmie. Thank you for all of your many gifts.

Lyrics
Hey, do you know me, I live down the hall
Of the Evergreen retirement home
My house is just four walls
Every day I read a book to my friend who cannot see
Hey, do you know me
Hey, do you know me, I teach the second grade
I always get there early
And I always stay there late
I give them all I can for who they are and who'll they'll be
Hey, do you know me
There are angels all around
In the sky and on the ground
They walk beside us every day
Giving love away
There are saints on every street
you might be the one I meet today
Hey, do you know me
Hey, do you know me, I drive the city bus
I see a lot of people who are down on their luck
I keep a pocket full of change
For those who cannot pay
Hey, do you know me
(Chorus)
Hey, do you know me, I'm a beggar on the street
I know I'm good for something
If only for one thing
Maybe to remind you that you have all you need
Hey, do you know me
