Clair - 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 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

It’s 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!

all right then but wait just a bit

While I, in an effort to baby sit

Catch of 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
