She puts on her make-up and brushes her long blonde hair.
And then she asks me, "
Do I look all right?" 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 all right?" And I say, "
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 and 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."
