Clair, the moment I met you, I swear
I felt as if something, somewhere
Had happened to me, which I couldn't see, but 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
But you get to me in a way I can't describe
The 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 (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 (oh Clair!) Clair
Clair, I've told you before "don't you dare"
"Get back into bed, can't you see that's it late?"
"No you can't have a drink"
"Oh all right then, but wait just a bit"
While I, in an effort to babysit
Catch up my breath, what there is left of it
You can be murder at this hour of the day
But in the morning this hour would seem a lifetime away
Oh Clair, Clair
Clair
