Clair lyrics
by Gilbert O'Sullivan



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 this hour will seem a life time away
Oh, Clair
Clair

Oh, Clair
