It's late in the evening, she's wondering what clothes to wear
She puts on her makeup, brushes her long, long hair
And then she asks me, do I look alright?
I say yes, you look wonderful tonight

We go to a party, everyone turns to see
This beautiful lady, walking around with me
And then she asks me, do you feel alright?
I say yes, I feel wonderful tonight

I feel wonderful because I see the love lighting in your eyes
And the wonder of it all, isn't you just don't realize
how much I love you

Time to go home now, I've got an aching head
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
