Clair lyrics

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 all right then, but wait just a bit

While I, in an effort to babysit

Catch of my breath what there is left of it

You can be murder at this hour of the day

But in the morning this hour will seem a lifetime away

Oh, Clair

Clair

Oh, Clair
