lyrics

She was far from perfect
But perfect all the same
“A rose is still a rose” we’re told
By any other name
How she graced this Earth
You’ll never know if you weren’t there
Words alone just don’t suffice
Describing Mariclaire

Dancing through a cheated life
It’s said the good die young
She left with all her words unsaid
And all her songs unsung
If I had to guess I know
She’d do it all again
She lived more life in just one day
Than most will live in ten

She held your heart
She touched your soul
And though the world
Has long grown cold
She came along
And filled the air
With warmth and love
Sweet Mariclaire

Sister, can you hear me now
Across the starry miles
I see your face, I hear your voice
Come back to us awhile
Your baby girls have grown up strong
With all their mother’s flare
And in their light you’re shining thru
We miss you Mariclaire

We are far from perfect
What’s perfect, anyway
We’re born, we struggle
Just to die another day
Why must it be so hard to learn
What she knew all along
What matters most is how we live
And love before we’re gone

She held your heart
She touched your soul
And though the world
Has long grown cold
She came along
And filled the air
With warmth and love
Sweet Mariclaire

And now it’s years
And years ago
Those she left
Have all grown old
She will remain
Forever faire
Forever young
Sweet Mariclaire

She will remain
Forever faire
Forever young
Sweet Mariclaire
