Wandering hand in hand along fields of gold,
jealous sun shines upon this summertime love.
Night-bird, song-bird have a story to be told.
I need your love so bad, like a lonesome dove.
Jealous sun shines upon this summertime love.
Cheek to cheek with my Honeysuckle rose.
I need your love so bad, like a lonesome dove.
I know you by heart from my head to toes.
Cheek to cheek with my Honeysuckle rose,
Like fragile buds, your touch is fine and mellow.
I know you by heart from my head to toes.
How can I keep from singing? You're my cello.
Like fragile buds, your touch is fine and mellow.
Ain't no sunshine when your melody is mute.
How can I keep from singing? You're my cello.
You take my breath away like forbidden fruit.
Ain't no sunshine when your melody is mute.
What a wonderful world, now that you are here.
You take my breath away like forbidden fruit.
I'm drowning in the sea of love with no fear.
What a wonderful world, now that you are here.
Let us watch Bluebirds sing over the rainbow.
I'm drowning in the sea of love with no fear.
Never say goodbye, let love be our meadow.
Let us watch Bluebirds sing over the rainbow.
Night-bird, song-bird have a story to be told.
Never say goodbye, let love be our meadow.
Wandering hand in hand along fields of gold.

Pantoum poem
A rare form of poetry. It is composed of a series of quatrains; the second and
fourth lines of each stanza are repeated as the first and third lines of the
next. This pattern continues for any number of stanzas, except for the final
stanza, which differs in the repeating pattern. The first and third lines of
the last stanza are the second and fourth of the penultimate; the first line of
the poem is the last line of the final stanza, and the third line of the first
stanza is the second of the final. Ideally, the meaning of lines shifts when
they are repeated although the words remain exactly the same: this can be done
by shifting punctuation, punning, or simply recontextualizing.
It does not have to rhyme nor have a syllable restriction
