(G)
All
the lovely (D)
ladies in their (A)
finery tonight
I (G)
wish that I could know them one by (A)
one
(G)
All the handsome (D)
gentlemen with (A)
loving on their minds
(G)
Strolling in to take the ladies (A)
home
(D)
Bless you all and keep you on the (G)
road to tenderness
(Cmaj7)
Heaven can be (C)
yours just for (A)
now
(G/A)
All the gentle strangers who by (A)
nature do not smile
To
(G/A)
everyone who cannot hold a (A)
pen
(G/A) All you heavy
rounders with a (A)
headache for your pains
Who
(G/A)
dread the thought of going around the (A)
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 being second-guessed
Whose job
it is to give more than they get
Bless you
all and keep you with the strength to understand
Heaven
can be yours just for now
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 in prison by mistake
Bless you
all and keep you with the faith to let it pass
Heaven
can be yours just for now
All
the
lonely sailors who have trouble being seen
To each
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
