Wonderful Tonight

Wonderful Tonight es una preciosa canción del guitarrista, cantante y compositor británico Eric Clapton que aparece dentro de su álbum de 1977 que llevó por título Slowhand. Un maravilloso tema que escribió Clapton a su novia (y futura esposa) Pattie Boyd, mientras esperaba que ella se arreglase para salir esa noche a un concierto homenaje a Buddy Holly.

Una obra maestra que por mucho que pase el tiempo, este no pasa por ella, porque ya es eterna, y donde el talento de Mr. Clapton se desborda por cada nota, en los mágicos riffs de guitarra y en la belleza y delicadeza de su melodía.

It's late in the evening
She's wondering what clothes to wear
She'll put on her make-up
And brushes her long blond hair

And then she'll ask me: Do I look alright?
And I'll say: Yes, you look wonderful tonight

We'll go to a party
And everyone turns to see
This beautiful lady
That's walking around with me

And then she'll ask me: Do you feel alright?
And I'll 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
I've got an aching head
So I'll give her the car keys
She'll help me to bed

And then I'll tell her
As I turn out the light
I say: My darling, you were wonderful tonight
Oh, my darling, you were wonderful tonight
