Clair

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
