Gilbert O'Sullivan — 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 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, alright then, but wait just a minute" 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 will seem a lifetime away Oh Clair Clair Oh Clair
