All The Lovely Ladies Lyrics

All the lovely ladies in their finery tonight

I wish that I could know them one by one

All the handsome gentlemen with loving on their minds

Strolling in to take the ladies home

Bless you all and keep you on the road to tenderness

Heaven can be yours just for now

All the gentle strangers who by nature do not smile

To everyone who cannot hold a pen

To all you heavy rounders with a headache for your pains

Who dread the thought of going 'round the bend

Bless you all and keep you on the road to better things

Heaven can be yours just for now

To all the lovely ladies in their finery tonight

I wish that I could kiss you while you knit

To all the ones who learn to live with bein' second-guessed

Whose job it is to give more then to get

Bless you all and keep you with the strength to understand

Heaven can be yours just for now

To all the little dreamers with a dream that cannot last

To all the sleeping giants who must wake

To every man who answers to the letter of the law

And all the rest imprisoned by mistake

Bless you all and keep you with the faith to let it pass

Heaven can be yours just for now

To all the lonely sailors who have trouble beeing seen

To all of you with heartache that remains

Maybe sometime later you might swim back into shore

If someone could relieve you of your chains

Bless you all and keep you all on the land or on the sea

Heaven can be yours, just for now
