Musical Sunday

I have a lot of "favorite" songs that are favorites for different reasons. Some I love because they tell a great story ("The Ballad of Mr. Shorty" by Marty Robbins is a classic of this type), others because they evoke wonderful feelings. This great tune by Eric Clapton is one of the latter ... 

The music is great, and the lyrics are sublime:

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"

As Thanksgiving approaches and I think of all the things for which I am grateful, the love of the wonderful woman who makes life worth living is high on the list.

Have a good day and enjoy the rest of your weekend. More thoughts coming.
