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
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
