Wonderful Tonight
by Eric Clapton
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."
Cover versions
In 1997, country music artist David Kersh released a cover of the song on his album If I Never Stop Lovin' You; Kersh's version reached #29 on the country music charts.
Michigan vocal quartet Three Men and a Tenor regularly performs the song in concert, but with an a cappella reggae sound.
The repertoire of a busker in York is largely made up of this song - he often sings it on a loop.
The song was also covered by vocalist Michael Buble in cooperation with Ivan Lins on his latest album "Call Me Irresponsible" [2007].
