Verse 1

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

Verse 2

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

Solo

   
   

Verse 3

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 al-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 life-time away
Oh Clair, Clair
Oh Clair
