Clair

Clare, 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 you were friends
It had to be so, it couldn't be, no

But try as hard as I might to I don't know why
You get to me in a way I can't describe
Warm is the little way you look and the smile
I don't care what people say
To me you're more than a child
Oh, Clare, Clare

Clare, if ever a moment so rare
Must come but for all to compare
The moment is you in all that you do

But why is it by your grace the tears do I cry?
Each time I leave you I feel I could die
Nothing means more to me than hearing you say
"I want to marry you," well, you hurry me, oh, ho, well
Oh, Clare, Clare

Clare, 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, all right then, but wait just a minute
Why are you never to be seen?
Catch my breath, what there is left to build
You can't be more than a distant thought, but one day
By early morning the sun will steal my laughter away
Oh, Clare, Clare

Oh, Clare
