Clair

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.
(Interlude)
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 all right then but wait just a minute
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 see my lifetime away
Oh, Clair, Clair
Oh, Clair.
