All the Lovely Ladies Gordon Lightfoot

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Bless you all and keep you on the road to tenderness
Heaven can be yours just for now

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
Bless you all and keep you on the road to better things
Heaven can be yours just for now

[Verse 3]
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
