Eric Clapton- Wonderful Tonight
Written in 1976, Eric Clapton wrote this song while waiting for his girlfriend (and future wife) Pattie Boyd to get ready for a night out. They were going to a Buddy Holly tribute that Paul McCartney put together, and Clapton was in the familiar position of waiting while she tried on clothes. Boyd says, “For years it tore at me. To have inspired Eric, and George before him, to write such music was so flattering. ‘Wonderful Tonight’ was the most poignant reminder of all that was good in our relationship, and when things went wrong it was torture to hear it.”

I want to slow dance with you in the middle of the kitchen floor in the middle of the night to Wonderful Tonight or the sound of our heartbeats
July 3, I told George I was leaving him: It was late at night and I went into the studio and told him we were leading a ludicrous and hateful life… When he came to bed, I could feel his sadness as he lay beside me. “Don’t go,” he said.
