Don Williams — Wonderful Tonight lyrics

Lyrics

I been cryin so long
I been a watin for you to come along
There you are what can I say
I won’t ever let you get away
I been sittin by myself
Been compairin you to ever body else
You always won each hand you play
I won’t ever let you get away
I can’t pretend that you might happen twice
An I can not leave you to ur own device
Thinkin bout it takes to long
There ain’t no right there ain’t no wrong
This kinda deal don’t come along ever day
I can’t let you get away
I been prayin for a sign
For heaven to show me which road was mine
An then you smiled my knees gave way
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.»
I took that for a sign that you should stay
Well I can t pretend that you might happen twice
An I can not leave you to ur own device
Thinkin bout it takes to long
There ain’t no right there ain’t no wrong
This kinda deal don’t come along ever day
I can’t let you get away
Get awayyyyy
Get awayyyyy
