It was the Senior School yearbook, the class of '63 I'll forget the way you gave your book and pen to me It was all talked out and settled, you knew I'd A with dreams as big as yours just had to make some plans
So I turned to your picture, most likely to succeed The only one in the whole damn book didn't show you with me And it said that you liked inner strength, so I tried to be true to And I hid my teenage heart, instead I signed this poem
I hope you always a Cadillac I hope you always drink I hope you always shine with the I hope you never have to the rain
Unless the clouds are lined with silver, may heart You meet be gold and may you find the as kind As you've been told, at the ten year reunion They read personal note and displayed your cover photograph
In your full sable coat, but the words underneath the picture Were mattered most to me There was something in the lines That no one could see
It said, I always drive a Cadillac, I always champagne And if you make time while the sun You never have to face the rain, I travel fast because I go Everybody gets and sold
And I wondered if you'd really become that That was the last word heard from you Until I got your card today, a line and signature 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 yearbook that falls open to one page With a picture of a young girl's face of beauty, dreams and rage
But the words the picture Is the verse that's still so It's the one I swore no one would I showed it to you
I hope you drive a Cadillac I you always drink champagne And you'll my heart wherever you go if I never see you again
But if you bring it back to me Maybe then it'll mean you the strongest love's the love that let's you go I you always drive a Cadillac
