It was the Senior High yearbook, the class of '63 I'll never forget the way you gave book and pen to me It was all talked out and settled, you I'd understand A girl with dreams as big as yours just had to make some
So I to your best picture, most likely to succeed The only one in the whole damn book that didn't show you me And it said that you liked inner strength, so I tried to be to form And I hid my teenage broken heart, instead I signed poem
I hope you always a Cadillac I hope you always champagne I you always shine with the sunshine I hope you never have to the rain
the clouds are lined with silver, may every heart You be gold and may you find the world as kind As you've been told, at the ten year reunion They read your note and displayed your cover photograph
In your full sable coat, but the words underneath the picture Were mattered most to me There was in between the lines no one else could see
It said, I always drive a Cadillac, I drink champagne And if you make time the sun shines You never have to face the rain, I travel fast I go alone Everybody bought and sold
And I wondered if you'd really become that was the last word anyone heard from you Until I got your card today, a single line and That said, "I'm home to stay"
I wonder what life has 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 open to just one page With a picture of a young girl's full of beauty, dreams and rage
But the words underneath the Is the verse that's still so It's the one I swore no one would Unless I it to you
I hope you always a Cadillac I you always drink champagne And carry my heart wherever you go Even if I see you again
But if you bring it home to me Maybe then it'll mean you That the strongest love's the that let's you go I you always drive a Cadillac
