All the lovely ladies in their finery tonight

I wish that I could know them one by one

F                C              G
All the handsome gentlemen with loving on their minds

F                               G
Strolling in to take the ladies home
[CHORUS:]

Heaven can be yours, just for now

All the gentle strangers who by nature do not smile

   F                          G
To everyone who cannot hold a pen

   F                             G
To all you heavy rounders with a headache for your pains

Who dread the thought of going 'round the bend

To all the lovely ladies in their finery tonight

I wish that I could kiss you while you knit

   F                C                  G
To all the ones who learn to live with being second-guessed

      F                              G
Whose job it is to give more then to get

To all the little dreamers with a dream that cannot last

   F                                G
To all the sleeping giants who must wake

   F                            G
To every man who answers to the letter of the law

    F                             G
And all the rest imprisoned by mistake
[CHORUS:]

To all the lonely sailors who have trouble being seen

   F                                G
To all of you with heartache that remains

F                              G
Maybe sometime later you might swim back into shore

   F                                 G
If someone could relieve you of your chains
[CHORUS:]
C                                 F
Bless you all and keep you on the land or on the sea

Heaven can be yours, just for now
