It was the High School yearbook, the class of '63 I'll never forget the way you your book 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 to your best picture, most likely to succeed The only one in the whole book that didn't show you with me And it that you liked inner strength, so I tried to be true to form And I hid my teenage broken heart, instead I signed poem
I you always drive a Cadillac I you always drink champagne I hope you always shine the sunshine I hope you never have to the rain
Unless the are lined 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 cover photograph
In your full length sable coat, but the underneath the picture Were what most to me There was in between the lines That no one else see
It said, I always drive a Cadillac, I drink champagne And if you make time the sun shines You never have to 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 heard you Until I got your card today, a single line and That said, "I'm home to stay"
I wonder what has done to you, I wonder why you thought of me But if you by to say hello, I wonder what you'll think if you see An old ragged school yearbook that falls open to just one page With a picture of a young face full 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 carry my heart wherever you go Even if I never see you
But if you bring it back to me Maybe then it'll mean you That the love's the love that let's you go I hope you drive a Cadillac
