 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 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
