Wonderful Tonight - Eric Clapton Tribute

Layla, you look so wonderful tonight. Beautiful eyes like diamonds made from rain. After midnight lets dance in the moonlight. I'm your forever man, king of the swain. Beautiful eyes like diamonds made from rain. Before you accuse me, I had to look. I'm your forever man, king of the swain. You're no bad love, you're perfect in my book. Before you accuse me, I had to look, as I can't stand it when you turn away You're no bad love, you're perfect in my book, I will be there and not lead you astray. As I can't stand it when you turn away, please stop pretending and ask me to stay. I will be there and not lead you astray, our love, let it grow in every way. Please stop pretending and ask me to stay. No Alibis, this time it is for real. Our love, let it grow in every way, spiral like that old love we used to feel. No Alibis, this time it is for real, to believe in life our love must flourish. Spiral like that old love we used to feel, blessings fall like rain so we can nourish. To believe in life our love must flourish the core of my love is 24/7. Blessings fall like rain so we can nourish let it rain, so there's no tears in heaven. The core of my love is 24/7, one glimpse and I'm like superman inside. Let it rain, so there's no tears in heaven. Accept this golden ring to be my bride. One glimpse and I'm like superman inside. After midnight lets dance in the moonlight. Accept this golden ring to be my bride. Layla, you look so wonderful tonight.

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
