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 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
