WONDERFUL TONIGHT

Music & lyrics by Eric Clapton 1977

------------------------------------------------------------------

It's late in the evening; she's wondering what clothes to wear.

She puts on her make-up and brushes her long black hair.

And then she asks me, "Do I look all right?"

And I say, "Yes, you look wonderful tonight."

 

We go to a party and everyone turns to see

This beautiful lady that's walking around with me.

And then she asks me, "Do you feel all right?"

And I say, "Yes, 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 realize 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 were wonderful tonight.

Oh my darling, you were wonderful tonight."
