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
