All The Lovely Ladies


(A)  (E/A)  (D/A)  (A)  (G/A)  (D/A)  (E/A)  (A)

(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
