All the lovely ladies in their finery tonight<br>I wish that I could know them one by one<br>All the handsome gentlemen with loving on their minds<br>Strolling in to take the ladies home<br>Bless you all and keep you on the road to tenderness<br>Heaven can be yours just for now.<br><br>All the gentle strangers who by nature do not smile<br>To everyone who cannot hold a pen<br>To all you heavy rounders with a headache for your pains<br>Who dread the thought of going 'round the bend<br><br>Bless you all and keep you on the road to better things<br>Heaven can be yours just for now.<br><br>To all the lovely ladies in their finery tonight<br>I wish that I could kiss you while you knit<br>To all the ones who learn to live with bein' second-guessed<br>Whose job it is to give more then to get<br><br>Bless you all and keep you with the strength to understand<br>Heaven can be yours just for now.<br><br>To all the little dreamers with a dream that cannot last<br>To all the sleeping giants who must wake<br>To every man who answers to the letter of the law<br>And all the rest imprisoned by mistake<br><br>Bless you all and keep you with the faith to let it pass<br>Heaven can be yours just for now<br><br>To all the lonely sailors who have trouble beeing seen<br>To all of you with heartache that remains<br>Maybe sometime later you might swim back into shore<br>If someone could relieve you of your chains<br><br>Bless you all and keep you all on the land or on the sea<br>Heaven can be yours, just for now
