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 is late No you can't have a drink Oh alright then, but wait just a bit While I in an effort to baby sit Capture my breath what there is left of it You can be murder at this hour of the day But in the morning tonight will seem a life time away Oh Clair, Clair
