Wonderful Tonight

she's deciding what clothes to wear
she puts on her make up
and brushes her long brown hair
and then she asks me darlin',
do i look alright
and i say darlin'
you look wonderful tonight
we go a party
and everyone turns to see
this beautiful lady
who's walking around with me
and then she asks me darlin',
do you feel alright
and I say darlin', I feel wonderful tonight
late in the evening
i've got an aching head
i give her the car keys
and she puts me down to bed
and then she asks me darling
do you feel alright?
i say darling
you don't realize
just how much i love you
