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."
