Clair,  the moment I met you I swear,
*                       /
I felt as if something somewhere
                           *               /
Had happened to me,  wich 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 diff´rence 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 bit
                         
While I in an effort to baby sit

*                              
capture my breath when there is left of it.
                      /
You can be murder at this hour of the day
           
But in the morning, this sorrow will seem a
                 /   
lifetime away. Oh Clair, Clair
