Музыкальня поэзия  |  “Wonderful Tonight” -- ERIC CLAPTON

Один из лучших гитаристов 20 века ERIC CLAPTON за почти сорокалетнюю музыкальную карьеру спел немало красивых баллад. Одной из таких баллад является "Wonderful Tonight"

Образец любовной лирики Эрика Клэптона, относящейся к концу 1970-х, нехарактерно для того преиода проникнутой спокойствием. Таким, которое мы встретим в позднем творчестве Клэптона -- в 1990-х.

"Wonderful Tonight"
ERIC CLAPTON

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 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
