I was taking so long and I was panicking about my hair, my clothes, everything, and I came downstairs expecting him to really berate me but he said, 'Listen to this!' In the time I had taken to get ready he had written " Wonderful Tonight." After I married Eric we were invited out for an evening and he was sitting round playing his guitar while I was trying on dresses upstairs. The song was fantastically painful and beautiful. Layla was based on a book by a 12th-century Persian poet called Nizami about a man who is in love with an unobtainable woman. But obviously when things got so excruciatingly bad for George and me it was the end of our relationship. I resisted his attentions for a long time - I didn't want to leave my husband.
