The Moment I Met You
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 like I die
Nothing means more to me than hearing you say
I'm going to marry you, well, 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, all right then, but wait just a bit
While I had an effort to babysit
Catch up my breath
Well, there is left of it to do
You can be murder at this hour of the day
But in the morning this hour
Won't see my lifetime away
Oh Claire, Claire
Oh Claire
