Clair — Piano Lead Sheet

(Gm7)Clair, the (Cm7)mo ment I met you, I (F7)swear, I (Dm7)felt as if some thing some (Gm)where had (Cm7)hap pened to me, which I could n’t (F7)see. And (Gm7)then, the (Cm7)mo ment I met you a (F7)gain I (Dm7)knew in my heart that we were (Gm)friends. It (Cm7)had to be so. It could n’t be (F7)no. But, (Bb)try as (Abdim7)hard as I might do, I (Cm)don’t know why (Eb)you get to me in a way I (Bbmaj7)can’t de scribe. (Ebmaj7)Words mean so lit tle when you (Edim)look up and smile. I don’t care (Bb6)what peo ple say. To me, you’re (C9)more than a child. Oh, (Cm7)Clair, (F9)Clair. (Gm7)Clair, if (Cm7)ev er a mo ment so (F7)rare was (Dm7)cap tured for all to com were (Gm)pare, that (Cm7)mo ment is you, in all that you (F7)do. But (Bb)why, in (Abdim7)spite of our age dif f’rence, (Cm)do I cry? (Eb)Each time I leave you a I feel (Bbmaj7)I could die. (Ebmaj7)Noth ing means more to me than (Edim)hear ing you say, “I’m going to (Bb6)mar ry you. Will you mar ry (C9)me, Un cle Ray?” Oh, (Cm7)Clair, (F9)Clair. (Gm7)Clair, I’ve (Cm7)told you be fore, don’t you (F9)dare get back in to bed. Can’t you see that it’s late? No, you can’t have a drink. Oh, all right then, but wait just a (Bb)bit while (Abdim7)I, in an ef fort to (Cm)ba by sit, (Eb)catch of my breath, what there is (Bbmaj7)left of it. (Ebmaj7)You can be mur der at this (Edim)hour of the day. But in the (Bb6)morn ing, this hour will seem a (C9)life time a way. Oh, (Cm7)Clair, (F9)Clair. Oh (Bbmaj9)Clair.
