Wonderful tonight

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 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, "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 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."

Eric Clapton


Hay canciones poderosamente evocadoras, como ésta, que en tres o cuatro minutos consiguen transportarme a esa situación, convertirme en ese hombre que espera impaciente a que la mujer termine de arreglarse para una fiesta, y después queda deslumbrado (y se pavonea) por la belleza de su acompañante...

Baboso, bastante; algo machista, quizá; pero me encanta...
