Claire Monet

Claire Monet I heard someone say

It's been so long since the last time I heard her name

I learned a lot from her

Yeah she was singular

The one day she got married

That's the last we saw of her

I can't remember her face at all

And I don't know why but Claire Monet I miss you

Claire Monet went away

I don't know how she could give up that lovely name

She was so slick and I fell sick

When I think about her playing house and raising kids

I'd rather think of her the way she was

Maybe that's why Claire Monet I miss you

The funny part of it all

Is I didn't know her at all

Claire Monet had lots to say

And I just can't imagine her all old and gray

She didn't need a man

Maybe it was her plan

But if she couldn't go on being Claire Monet who can?

I get the feeling she just withered away

Maybe that's why Claire Monet I miss you
