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? 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 allright then, but just, just wait 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!
