It was the Senior High School yearbook, the of '63 I'll never forget the way you gave your and pen to me It was all out and settled, you knew I'd understand A girl dreams as big as yours just had to make some plans
So I turned to your best picture, most likely to The only one in the whole damn that didn't show you with me And it said that you liked inner strength, so I to be true to form And I hid my teenage heart, instead I signed this poem
I hope you always drive a I hope you drink champagne I hope you shine with the sunshine I hope you never to face the rain
Unless the clouds are with silver, may every heart You meet be and may you find the world as kind As you've told, at the ten year class reunion They read your personal note and displayed your cover
In your full length sable coat, but the words underneath the Were mattered most to me There was something in the lines no one else could see
It said, I always drive a Cadillac, I always champagne And if you make time while the sun You never to face the rain, I travel fast because I go alone Everybody gets and sold
And I wondered if you'd become that cold That was the last word anyone from you Until I got your card today, a single line and That said, "I'm home to stay"
I wonder life has done to you, I wonder why you thought of me But if you stop by to say hello, I wonder you'll think if you see An old ragged high school that falls open to just one page With a picture of a young girl's face of beauty, dreams and rage
But the underneath the picture Is the verse that's still so the one I swore no one would read Unless I it to you
I you always drive a Cadillac I hope you always champagne And you'll carry my wherever you go Even if I see you again
But if you bring it home to me Maybe then it'll you know That the strongest love's the love let's you go I hope you drive a Cadillac
