All the lovely ladies in their finery tonight

I wish that I could know them one by one
FF        C majorC       G+G
All the handsome gentlemen with loving on their minds

  FF             G+G
To everyone who cannot hold a pen
  FF               G+G
To all you heavy rounders with a headache for your pains
  FF                   G+G
Who dread the thought of going 'round the bend

I wish that I could kiss you while you knit
  FF        C majorC         G+G
To all the ones who learn to live with being second-guessed
   FF               G+G
Whose job it is to give more then to get

  FF               G+G
To all the little dreamers with a dream that cannot last
  FF                G+G
To all the sleeping giants who must wake
  FF              G+G
To every man who answers to the letter of the law
  FF               G+G
And all the rest imprisoned by mistake

  FF                G+G
To all the lonely sailors who have trouble being seen
  FF                G+G
To all of you with heartache that remains
FF               G+G
Maybe sometime later you might swim back into shore
  FF                 G+G
If someone could relieve you of your chains


C majorC                 FF
Bless you all and keep you on the land or on the sea
Bb majorBb              G+G
Heaven can be yours, just for now
