Lyrics for Song: Wonderful Tonight
Lyrics for Album: Cream Of
It's late in the evening
She's wonderin' 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
walkin 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 achin' 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 darlin', you were wonderful tonight
Oh, my darlin, you were wonderful tonight

Wonderful Tonight
Eric Clapton's 'Wonderful Tonight' stands as a cornerstone of his solo career, capturing the essence of romantic devotion. Originally recorded in 1974, the track was inspired by a personal encounter with his then-wife, Pattie Boyd, and later became the title track of the album 'Cream of Cigarettes.' The song's acoustic guitar-driven arrangement highlights Clapton's signature fingerpicking style, blending blues roots with folk sensibilities to create an intimate atmosphere. It has since become one of his most recognizable and enduring recordings, frequently featured in his live performances and compilations. The composition reflects the era's shift toward personal storytelling in rock music, cementing Clapton's status as a master of the blues-rock genre while appealing to a broader audience. |
