Wonderful Tonight


One of the best things about teaching is making your students do what you want, like listen to Eric Clapton. To my surprise and delight, some of the older ones even sang along. We all joined in for the hugely sappy ending:

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."

*Note the tell/say contrast, depending on the presence of an object pronoun. Yeah, baby.
