Wonderful Tonight


It's late in the evening,
And she's wondering what clothes to wear.
She puts on her make up,
And brushes her long blond hair.
And then she asks me,
Do I look alright?
And I say, yes, you look wonderful tonight.

We go to a party,
And everyone turns to see.
This beautiful lady,
Who's walking around with me.
And then she asks me,
Do you feel alright?
And I say, darling, I feel wonderful tonight.

I feel wonderful, because I see the love light in your eyes,
And the wonder of it all, is that you just don't realise
How much I love you.

It's time to go home now,
And I've got an aching head.
So I give her the car keys,
And she helps me to bed.
And then I tell her, as I turn out the light,
I say, my darling, you are wonderful tonight.
Yes, my darling, you are wonderful tonight.

Eric Clapton
