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