You wore something sweet, in white (Rewriting Eric Clapton)

Plain audacity - I rewrote Eric Clapton's 'You Look Wonderful Tonight' - the brickbats and the bouquets (hopefully) please -

So we got talking
It was a long moon night
You said its freezin
I said let’s hold on tight
And I could smell your
Sweat, and a bit of fright
And I remember
You wore something sweet, in white.

Times that go passing
You go your way, and I
Sometimes I miss you
Sometimes I wish you try
That’s when I find him
Shining in your sight
And I remember
You wore something sweet, in white.

As we grow old now
Aging hearts and aching feet
May be we do see
Faces one longed to meet
And it is so vexing
Can’t seem to place you right
But I remember
You wore something sweet, in white.

Yes, I remember
You wore something sweet, in white.
