Wonderful Tonight

WONDERFUL TONIGHT

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"

 

 

Nobody knows me

Nobody knows me

Nobody knows it’s empty

The smile that I wear,

The real is left in the past

Because you have left me there.

 

Nobody knows I’m crying

They won’t even see my tears,

When thy think that I am laughing

I still wishing you were there.

 

Nobody knows it’s painful

They think that I’m strong,

They say that this won’t kill me

But I wonder if they were wrong.

 

Nobody knows I’m praying

That you will change my mind,

They think that I had let you go

When you left me behind.

 

Nobody knows I miss you

They think that I feel set free,

But I feel like I’m bound with chains

Trapped in the mystery.

 

Nobody knows I need you

They say I can do it on my own,

But they don’t know I’m crying

When I’m all alone.

 

 

Love's a Gift from God

Love's a Gift from God

Love can't be described.

It has no shape, it has no form.

Love is not an object.

Love does not conform.

 

Love enters our lives

The moment we are born.

From the cradle to the grave,

Love's in everyone.

 

Love burns like a candle

That sometimes flickers but never dies.

Love may be invisible,

Although it's right before your eyes,

 

Love can leave you empty,

Love can make you whole.

Love can make or break you,

Love is in your soul.

Love is in your heart,

Love is in your mind.

Love doesn't discriminate,

Love is always blind.

 

Love is universal,

It encompasses the globe.

No matter where you are,

Love has a language all its own.

 

Love is all around you.

There's plenty of love to spare.

You cannot see or touch it,

But love is everywhere.

 

Love's the greatest power,

And yet it is so small.

Love's a gift from God

To be shared amongst us all.
