The Ballad of Tommy and Layla (Under a Full Moon)

There’s a boy, there’s a girl and they meet eye to eye across a crowded room
She’s smiling gently and wonders if this could be true
I’ll keep glancing over all shy now and I wonder if this could be true
There’s a man I can’t take my eyes off, is he looking at me?

He smiles in reluctant confirmation and he wonders if there’s somewhere they could go
To discuss this new infatuation, he says babe, I already know

The answers to the questions you have about me and our life
And babe I already know what its like to be with you
I’ve got butterflies in my stomach and lullaby’s in my head
Layla, this is us babe under a full moon

Tommy, take my hand I think I love you though we’ve only really just met
But I can’t take my eyes from your smile now, mmmm
In the bright lights of this dear city and the sparkling in your sad eyes
Tommy, this is us babe under a full moon 
Oh its babe I already know the answers to your questions tonight
I’ve got butterflies in my stomach and lullaby’s in my head
Take my hand coz Layla there’s a full moon
And your smile makes me feel so alive
Layla, this is us babe, Layla this is us babe
