All The Lovely Ladies

Oddly enough, I have but a song for you tonight. It is by Gordon Lightfoot. Title:  All The Lovely Ladies

This song is dedicated to all the proud wonderful fat women who are being trolled or harassed online.

The trolls will slink away to their caves. You will prevail. Hugs.

All The Lovely Ladies, ©1975 by Gordon Lightfoot

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

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 
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 

To 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 imprisoned by mistake 
Bless you all and keep you with the faith to let it pass 
Heaven can be yours just for now 

To all the lonely sailors who have trouble being seen 
To all 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 on the land or on the sea 
Heaven can be yours just for now
