It was the Senior High School yearbook, the of '63 I'll forget the way you gave your book and pen to me It was all out and settled, you knew I'd understand A girl with dreams as big as yours just had to some plans
So I turned to your best picture, likely to succeed The only one in the damn book that didn't show you with me And it said that you liked strength, so I tried to be true to form And I hid my broken heart, instead I signed this poem
I hope you always a Cadillac I you always drink champagne I hope you always shine the sunshine I hope you never have to the rain
Unless the clouds are lined with silver, may every You meet be gold and may you find the world as As you've been told, at the ten year reunion They read your note and displayed your cover photograph
In your full length sable coat, but the words the picture Were mattered most to me There was something in between the That no one could see
It said, I always drive a Cadillac, I drink champagne And if you make while the sun shines You have to face the rain, I travel fast because I go alone Everybody gets 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 said, "I'm coming home to stay"
I wonder what life has done to you, I wonder why you of me But if you stop by to say hello, I wonder what you'll if you see An old ragged high school yearbook that falls open to one page With a of a young girl's face full of beauty, dreams and rage
But the underneath the picture Is the verse still so true It's the one I swore no one 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 never see you
But if you bring it home to me Maybe it'll mean you know That the strongest love's the love that you go I hope you drive a Cadillac
