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.
