I remember when mom and dad named you Claire
Before you were born, before you had hair
You don't remember but I was there
I remember when you broke your arm
I know how you tell it
You get it all wrong
I loved you then and from now on
That was a long time ago
That was a long time ago
I remember when mom and dad brought you home
I was so used to bein' alone
And then I wasn't alone
There must be some reason for flesh and blood
Some other purpose for stayin' in touch
Oh we shared so much
I remember when mom and dad named you Claire
Before you were born, before you had hair
You don't remember but I was there
That was a long time ago
That was a long time ago
