O'Sullivan, Gilbert
"Clare"

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? Oh hurray!"

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 just just wait 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
