Wonderful Tonight


It was 7pm, it was hard to get her to put down her pen
She was late
Jumped in the shower and got ready for the date
She wore the shortest skirt I seen, and it was the first time since
I smiled as I watched her get back to a type of long lost innocence
She curled her hair and did her make up just so
She always wanted to go clubbing in NYC and now she can finally go

“And I said yes you look wonderful tonight”

She walked in smile bright and felt the comfort of a long lost touch
As the man she walked by threw money up she didn’t even wonder how much
Walked right passed the crowd and back to vip
She didn’t even notice it was and I guess for all that you can blame me
She was flirting with the man behind the mirror closing the bathroom door wondering if it was you
Was polite on the tab because she didn’t even need or want any more cause that’s how ladies do
I watched her talk so eloquently
And laughed when she asked him how old cause she knew it was at least a century


“I feel wonderful because I see the love light up your eyes and the wonder of it all is that you just don’t realize how much I love you”


Then I tapped her arm, so she knew I was there
As she took a pic of us all faded walking out in a stare
She sat on the bench waiting and praying for you to come, she wished you’d show your face
For the entire 2 hours it took to catch the cab back to the friend of a friends place
Then I watched her smile and lay her head down to sleep
And smiled so proud as she slept like look at her crown, thinking sucker, an angel you always keep

And whispered...

“oh my darling you were wonderful tonight”
