Eric Clapton – Wonderful Tonight (Official Live Video)

Lyrics

It’s late in the evening; she’s wondering what clothes to wear.
She’ll put 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.”

About The Song

“Wonderful Tonight” is a popular love song written by Eric Clapton. The song was included on his 1977 album “Slowhand” and has since become one of Clapton’s most famous and beloved songs.

The song was written about Clapton’s then-girlfriend (and later wife), Pattie Boyd, and their experiences getting ready to attend a party hosted by Paul McCartney. Boyd took longer than expected to get ready, and as Clapton waited for her, he began playing his guitar and came up with the melody and lyrics for the song.

The song features Clapton’s signature guitar playing, with a slow, melodic riff that perfectly captures the romantic mood of the lyrics. The song’s simple yet effective structure and memorable melody have made it a classic in the world of love songs.

“Wonderful Tonight” has been covered by numerous artists over the years and has been featured in movies and TV shows. It remains one of Clapton’s most enduring and beloved works, and a testament to his ability to create beautiful and timeless music.
