Farewell Angelina you were the love of my life My precious angel, I’d hoped you’d be my wife All I really wanna do is to spend my life with you But we ain't talkin now and it hurts me too. My precious angel, I’d hoped you’d be my wife Like a hurricane you’ve devastated my life But we ain't talking now and it hurts me too. So it’s pretty clear it’s all over now baby blue Like a hurricane you’ve devastated my life Tell me Angelina why you won’t be my wife So it’s pretty clear it’s all over now baby blue But we ain't talkin and it hurts me too Tell me Angelina why you won’t be my wife All I really want to do was to share your life So it’s pretty clear it’s all over now baby blue There was never anyone else I was all over you. All I really wanna do was to share your life These last seven days have been nothing but strife There was never anyone else I was all over you. "I ain't gonna grieve but I'll miss you that’s true" These last seven days have been nothing but strife All I really wanna do is to spend my life with you I ain't gonna grieve but I'll miss you that’s true" Farewell Angelina you were the love of my life Bob Dylan songs 1/ Farewell Angelina 2/ My precious angel 3/ All I really wanna do 4/ Ain't talkin 5/ Hurricane 6/Angelina 7/ It's all over now baby blue 8/ Tell me 9/ I was all over you 10/ Seven days 11/ I ain't gonna grieve Written for Music Pantoum contest sponsored by silent one Written on 12 April 2018 Copyright © Tom Cunningham | Year Posted 2018

Thank you Sam, my one and only pantoum, I didn't find it easy if I'm honest. Happy you enjoyed it. Over Fork Over. Tom

I admire how well you can weave all these songs into a pantoum rhyme scheme. I really don't know how you manage to do it. Great write! ~ Gershon

Oh Tom, don’t give up the refrain forms! Every so often I make my brain work hard! I took a class on refrains and enjoyed...for sure they are tough!

Very smooth; a pantoum is something I do not dare do yet you made it seem effortless which I am sure it was not, Tom. Good show!
