Wonderful Tonight Lyrics
Okay guys. Pattie Boyd wrote a book, and she describes the exact situation-- "One night, unusually, me and Eric were going out, and I couldn't decide what to wear. I was taking a very long time to do my makeup and hair, putting on one dress, then another and another, throwing them all into a pile on the floor. Poor Eric had been ready for hours and was waiting patiently. He was so sweet- at least, in the early days. The worst he would say if I annoyed him was 'you're a silly clown.'"
Then it goes on to say-- "Suddenly, as I was flinging dresses on and off, inspiration struck. When I finally got downstairs and asked the inevitable question, "Do I look alright?" he played what he'd written:
It's late in the evening; she's wondering what clothes to wear. She puts on her makeup and brushes her long blonde hair. And then she asks me, "Do I look alright?" And I say "Yes, you look wonderful tonight."
this song is about a little crippled fella, whos girlfriend/carer is worried about, hence asking 'do you feel alright?' The line is actually 'i've got an aching LEG,' and the woman drives home because obviously he can't drive
This is my most favorite song in the whole entire world! Im not a huge fan of Eric Clapton, but this song rocks!
This song is truly beautiful in that it explains in the most basic of terms how one can find themselves completely and utterly in love and how important it is to share how we feel with that special someone.
I absolutely love this song and will make a point to personally sing this song to my new wife at my wedding reception. I don't think I could ever simply ignore this song if I heard it playing. Eric Clapton is a true artist, filling his songs with pure truths and meanings that we all can relate too.
Thanks again Eric for sharing your work with the rest of the world.
This is my parents' song. I love hearing my dad play it on the guitar for my mom because it just goes to show how in love you can be with someone after years and years. To still feel the same way you did when you first started dating is just awesome.
@Bojangles33 Dude! You have cool parents!! My parents' song is Elvis' "can't help falling in love with you"

I don't think my mom knew who Clapton was til his son died and he wrote "Tears in Heaven"

I Think this song is clearly about a little fella in a wheelchair.
When I hear this song. I really hear the woman asking "do you care about me?", and not how she looks. And he relpies "yes", in such a sincere way.
Beautiful. Simply beautiful.
It's just a great song plain and simple. It's something to listen to when you are with your girlfriend or wife that is if you really love her! Above all its just one of those songs that comes from the heart!
This is like the most beautiful song there is. I had it as my first song played at my wedding reception. I love this song.
