G                D
It's late in the evening
C                      D
She's wondering what clothes to wear
G                D
She puts on her makeup
C                D
And brushes her long blonde hair
C            D
And then she asks me
G    D/F#   Em
Do I look alright?
           C             D           G
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

        C
I feel wonderful
   D               G    D/F#          Em
Because I see the love light in your eyes
         C           D
And the wonder of it all
             C             D
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
