Lyrics of Clair by Gilbert O'Sullivan
verse
Clair, the moment I met you, I swear
I felt as if something, somewhere
Had happened to me
Which I couldn't see
verse
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
verse
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
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
verse
Nothing means more to me than hearing you say
"I'm going to marry you"
"Will you marry me, Uncle Ray?"
Oh, Clair
Clair
verse
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
verse
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
outro
Oh, Clair
