Wonderful Tonight by Eric Clapton

This is the 1st song by Clapton and you'll definitely see more of him on here. This is a great ballad from his earlier years, if you can call his 5th album, earlier.

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

She puts on her make-up and brushes her long blonde 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"
