Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Clair, the moment I met you, I swear
I felt as if somethin', 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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
Clair, if ever a moment so rare
Was captured far off 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
Nothin' means more to me than hearing you say
I'm goin' to marry you
Will you marry me, Uncle Ray?
Oh, Clair
Clair
[Verse 4]
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 minute
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 mornin', the sun will see my lifetime away
Oh, Clair
Clair
[Verse 5]
Oh, Clair
