Wonderful Tonight, Eric Clapton, Song and Lyrics

Posted by webmaster

Wonderful Tonight

OK, I am on a ROLL today - so here is another of my Fav Songs — reminds me of someone very very special.

Oh my darling, you were wonderful tonight

On July 30, 1999, Eric Clapton put together a stellar band and invited a few friends–Bob Dylan, Sheryl Crow, Mary J. Blige, and David Sanborn–to perform a one-night-only concert in New York City’s Madison Square Garden as a benefit for Clapton’s Crossroads Centre at Antigua.

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 blonde hair
And then she asks me
Do I look alright
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 alright
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
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

  1. Wonderful Me Said,

    I hate to admit it, but that was one of ‘our’ songs. Definately awesome words, if I could still relate to them….I have just broken up after almost 7 years - and now, I am sitting here in tears wondering what IT ALL was? My interpretation of the words has changed…… and I feel lonely and betrayed. SO many empty promises…. and I fell for it….

    Sorry… I don’t want to upset anyone, but I am only human.

    Here are my words to ‘Wonderful Tonight’…

    Wonderful Tonight - ONLY TONIGHT?

    It’s late in the evening - How can she be late ALWAYS waiting 4 him?

    She’s wondering what clothes to wear - as he always makes comments that he does not like what she wears

    She puts on her make up - She looks better without

    And brushes her long blonde hair - BUT her hair is brown - but he ‘mistakes’ her 4 a ‘dumb’ blonde

    And then she asks me
    Do I look alright
    And I say yes, you look wonderful tonight - she knows that his words are without meaning

    We go to a party - she can’t recall any party?

    And everyone turns to see - and she knows, wishing he would turn to see too

    This beautiful lady - he claims to love

    That’s walking around with me - as his best kept secret

    And then she asks me - she cares and he don’t see

    Do you feel alright - Yes she does, but she knows that he doesn’t really care

    And I say yes, I feel wonderful tonight - …and of course, HE feels wonderful tonight…

    I feel wonderful

    Because I see the love light in your eyes - HEfeels wonderful as he knows that she admires him

    And the wonder of it all
    Is that you just don’t realize
    How much I love you - she continuous to wonder if HE really does?

    It’s time to go home now - she doesn’t want to go home, as she be on her own

    And I’ve got an aching head - He always has an aching head - is it the guilt?

    So I give her the car keys - he promised she could drive his car - but what’s a promise? (well, he did say ONE day

    She helps me to bed - Yes, SHE does….

    And then I tell her - words…words…words….EMPTY words…

    As I turn out the light - HE wouldn’t just turn out the lights without getting what and when he wants it

    I say my darling, you were wonderful tonight - dream…dream…keep on dreaming

    Oh my darling, you were wonderful tonight - IF ONLY HE WOULD SAY THAT TO ME :-(

    Dear Wonderful Me - Thank you for sharing how you feel. I was thinking about mailing you direct, but I felt that your openess and your feelings could help others as there are a lot of people out there feeling ’similar’. I don’t like giving advice, but may I just say that Loving Yourself is the most important….

  3. Wonderful Me Said,

    I was very hesitant leaving a comment, as I was worried to be judged. I am so so so glad that I did and that you put matters in a different perspective. I THANK YOU so much. I am reading the articles you recommended and there is one in particular that rings true to me. THANK YOU!! XX
