原来我对于Eric Clapton 的认识和大多数中国人一样，只停留在他获得格莱美奖的三首作品“Tears in heaven”、“Change the world”和“My father's eye”。当看了“Friends”第6季，Chandler和Monica在浪漫共舞, Eric Clapton悠悠地在耳边唱着“Wonderful tonight”，我对这首歌的爱油然而生。如果说，生活中美好的东西让我们向往让我们感动，那这美好就是……

Lyrics

Wonderful tonight by Eric Clapton

It's late in the evening
She is 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 are wonderful tonight.
Oh my darling, you are wonderful tonight."

2. love light：想象一下，“如果看着自己心爱的人，眼睛都会闪闪发光”

3. I've got an aching head：我头疼，也可以说成“My head was aching”

4. help someone to bed：无论发生了什么事，这是一个倒装句，正常的顺序应该是：whatever may come。

5. turn to someone：服侍某人上床睡觉。

中文歌词

美妙的夜晚 埃里克·克莱普顿

夜已深
她还在为着装发愁
薄施粉黛
梳罢金发
然后她问我，我看起来不错吧
我说，你今晚看起来美极了

我们去参加舞会
所有人的目光都投向
与我同行的丽人
然后她问我，你感觉还好吧
我说，我今晚感觉棒极了

感觉很美妙因为我看见了
你眼中闪烁的爱意
最妙的是
你却没有意识到
我有多爱你
