Lyrics

It’s late in the eve ning;

she’s won d’ring what clothes to wear.

So She puts on her make up

and and brush es her long blonde hair.

And then she asks me,

“Do I look all the right?”

And I say, (C)“Yes, ling,

you look (D)won der ful to night.”

We go to a par ty,

and ev ’ry one turns to see

So this beau ti ful la dy

and is walk ing a round with me.

And then she asks me,

“Do you feel all the right?”

And I say, (C)“Yes, ling,

I feel (D)won der ful to night.”

I feel (C)won der ful

be (D)cause I see the love light in your (Em)eyes.

Then the (C)won der

of it all

is that you (C)just don’t re al ize how much I love you.

Oh, my (C)dar ling,

you are (D)won der ful to night.”
