Long Time Ago

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

Now how you tell it, you get it all wrong

I loved you then and from now on

It 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 being alone

And then I wasn't alone

There must be some reason for flesh and blood

Some other purpose for staying in touch

Always share 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

It was a long time ago

That was a long time ago

That was a long time ago
