苦労の末、愛を得たクラプトンはこの名曲 Wonderful Tonightを書きます。
♪♪・・・パーティーに出かける夜、着ていくドレスがなかなか決められない君。 そして髪を梳かしながら君が聞く「私これで大丈夫かしら」 そして僕は答えるんだ「今夜の君は素晴らしいよ- You are wonderful tonight」♪
パーティーの最中の描写がこれまた素晴らしい。
奥さんの事を This beautiful lady と表現するのです！ クラプトンはやっぱりエライ！

♪ パーティーではこの美しい人に皆な振り向くんだ。君が聞く「どんな気分?」 そして僕は答えるんだ「最高だよ！- I feel wonderful tonight」♪
素晴らしく美しい一曲です。

Wonderful Tonight - Eric Clapton 1977
Wonderful Tonight
by Eric Clapton
by 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 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."
