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
I tried as hard as I might to,
I don't know how
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's so rare
We're scattered
for all to compare
That moment is you, it's all that you do
But why, in spite of all rage,
did once do I cry?
Each time I leave you, I feel like I die
Nothing means more to me
than hearing you say
I'm going to marry you,
will you marry me, Un cle Jay?
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?
Now you can't have a drink,
well alright then, but wait just a bit
While I, in an effort to babysit,
catch up my breath
What there is left of it
You can be murdered
at this hour of the day
But in the morning
the sun will seem a lifetime away
Oh Claire, Claire
