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
And 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?"
"Oh hurray!", 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 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...
