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
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? 
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
