Wonderful tonight

My favourite Eric Clapton song, it sounds like a sad song, but if you listen to the lyrics closely, you would see a nice couple growing old together, holding their hands...


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."


My favourite part is the second last part where he sang, "Is that you just don't realize...", with a little pause, "how much I love you..."

I think it is very sweet to see your love ones as wonderful, and actually telling them how you feel after being with them for many years... so sweet...
