Claire With Eyes Of Sapphire

I roam every street, 
stop at each corner
and look for Clair
even in the coldest night;
yesterday, she came into sight
whispered a quick hello..
where did her shadow go?
There's no clue, no lead!

Clair with eyes of sapphire,
you charmed me instantly;
in that voice I heard a joyful melody;
I'm walking through a burning fire:
will it get higher and burn me
down the road of uncertainty?

No voice sounded sweeter,
no words were more sincere,
Clair left no footsteps to follow,
and waking up tomorrow
this head will pound harder
to solve a mystery so strange;
can madness lead to rage
when I'll chase that image? 

Claire with eyes of sapphire,
keep my ardent fire burning;
don't ever mock me in a satire: 
run to your Romeo, be mine.
