Claire, 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 Claire, Claire

Claire. 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 Claire, Claire

Claire, 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 allright then, but wait just a minute

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 Claire, Claire

Oh Claire.
