Clair Lyrics By 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 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 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 alright then but wait just a minute

    while i in an effort to babysit catch up 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
    oh clair
