Wonderful Tonight
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's late in the evening
She's wonderin' what clothes to wear
She puts on her make-up
And brushes her long blond hair
And then she asks him, "Do I look all right?"
And I say yes, you look wonderful tonight
They go to a party
And everyone turns to see
This beautiful lady
walkin around with him
And then she asks him, "Do you feel all right?"
And he says 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 he doesn't realize
How much he loves her
It's time to go home now
And he's got an achin' head
So he gives her the car keys
And she helps him to bed
And then he tells her
As she turns out the light
He says my darlin',
You were wonderful tonight
