WONDERFUL TONIGHT

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

We'd go to a party
And everyone turns to see
This beautiful lady is walking around with me
And then she asked me do you feel alright
And I say yes
I feel wonderful tonight

I feel wonderful
because I see the love right in your eyes
And the wonder of it all
Is that you just don't realize
How much I love thee

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 turned off the lights
I say my darling
You are wonderful tonight
Oh my darling
You are wonderful tonight.


Eric Clapton

Ask Ss some questions related to the song and it's title to motivate them to the lesson.  For example;
