CLAIR
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 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.
“I’m going to marry you, will you
marry me uncle Ray?”
Clair, I’ve told you before, don’t
you care,
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
Awhile ín an effort to baby sit,
capture 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
seem a life time away
Oh, Clair, Clair.
Oh, Clair!
