Clair, the moment I met you, I swear

I felt as if something, somewhere

Had happened to me, which I couldn't see

And then, the moment I met you, again

I knew in my heart that we were friends

It had to be so, it couldn't be no

But try as hard as I might

Do, I don't know why

You get to me in a way I can't describe

Words mean so little when

You look up and smile

I don't care what people say

To me you're more than a child

Oh, clair

Clair

Clair, if ever a moment so rare

Was captured for all to compare

That moment is you in all that you do

But why in spite of our

Age difference do I cry

Each time I leave you I feel I could die

Nothing means more to

Me than hearing you say

"I'm going to marry you

Will you marry me, uncle ray?

Oh, clair

Clair

Clair, I've told you

Before "don't you dare"

"get back into bed"

"can't you see that it's late"

"no you can't have a drink"

"oh, alright then, but

Wait just a bit

While I, in an effort to

Babysit, catch up on my breath

What there is left of it

You can be murder at

This hour of the day

But in the morning the sun

Will seem a lifetime away

Oh clair

Clair

Oh clair
