Wonderful Tonight
Wonderful Tonight: A Love Story in the Evening Glow
Lyrics
It's late in the evening; she's wondering what clothes to wear
Setting the scene; it's late, and she's contemplating her outfit for the evening.
She puts on her make-up and brushes her long blonde hair
She prepares herself, applying makeup and tending to her long blonde hair.
And then she asks me, Do I look all right?
She seeks validation, asking if her appearance is satisfactory.
And I say, "Yes, you look wonderful tonight
The speaker reassures her, expressing admiration, stating she looks wonderful tonight.
We go to a party and everyone turns to see
They attend a party where her beauty captures everyone's attention.
This beautiful lady that's walking around with me
People notice the speaker with this stunning lady.
And then she asks me, Do you feel all right?
She checks on his well-being, asking if he feels okay.
And I say, "Yes, I feel wonderful tonight"
The speaker responds affirmatively, feeling wonderful in her company.
I feel wonderful because I see
The speaker feels a sense of wonder and happiness.
The love light in your eyes
The source of this joy is identified – the love reflected in her eyes.
And the wonder of it all
Expressing amazement at the overall experience.
Is that you just don't realize how much I love you
She is unaware of the depth of the speaker's love for her.
It's time to go home now and I've got an aching head
It's time to leave the event, and the speaker is tired and possibly intoxicated.
So I give her the car keys and she helps me to bed
She takes charge, assisting the speaker to bed with the help of car keys.
And then I tell her, as I turn out the light
Turning off the lights, the speaker expresses appreciation for her, emphasizing her wonderfulness.
I say, "My darling, you were wonderful tonight
Continuing the praise, the speaker tells her she was wonderful tonight.
Oh my darling, you were wonderful tonight
A repetition of the affirmation, reinforcing her exceptional quality this evening.
