The moment I met you, I swear.
Cm7 Fm
I felt as if something, somewhere,
Bbm7 Gm7 Eb7
Had happened to me, which I couldn't see.
Fm7 Bbm7 Eb9
And then, the moment I met you, again.
Cm7 Fm
I knew in my heart that we were friends.
Bbm7 Gm7 Eb7
It had to be so, it couldn't be no.
Ab Gb Bbm7
But try as hard as I might do, I don't know why.
Eb7 Ab7
You get to me in a way I can't describe.
Db7 Bb9
Words mean so little when you look up and smile.
Ab7 Bb9
I don't care what people say, to me you're more than a child.
Bbm7 Eb9
Oh Clair. Clair ...

If ever a moment so rare
Cm7 Fm
Was captured for all to compare.
Bbm7 Gm7 Eb7
That moment is you in all that you do.
Ab Gb Bbm7
But why in spite of our age difference do I cry.
Eb7 Ab7
Each time I leave you I feel I could die.
Db7 Bb9
Nothing means more to me than hearing you say,
Ab7 Bb9
"I'm going to marry you. Will you marry me? Oh hurray!"
Bbm7 Eb9
Oh Clair Clair ...

I've told you before "Don't you dare!"
Ab7 Fm7
"Get back into bed."
Bbm7 Eb9
"Can't you see that it's late."
Ab7 Fm7
"No you can't have a drink."
Bbm7 Eb9 Ab Absus
"Oh allright then, but wait just a minute."
Ab F# Bbm7 Eb7
While I, in an effort to babysit, catch up on my breath,
Ab7
What there is left of it.
Db7 Bb9
You can be murder at this hour of the day.
Ab7 Bb9
But in the morning the sun will see my lifetime away.
Bbm7 Eb9
Oh Clair Clair ...
