Cadillac Corner
I’ve been hummin’ little love songs
All the way from yesterday,
Winter girl with a hopeful heart
Waitin’ for the moment you come my way.
You with your questions and your quiet smile,
Books tucked under your arm,
Baby, the world tried to hush your voice,
But you still shine soft and warm.
And oh, those tattooed twenty-threes,
They feel like somethin’ meant to be,
Summer boy and winter me —
Honey, that’s our harmony.
When your Cadillac turns the corner,
I’ll feel my whole heart bloom,
Sugar, I’m dreamin’ ‘bout the moment you come soon.
When your Cadillac turns the corner,
I’ll breathe again, I swear,
Baby, suspense is sweet when love is in the air.
Ooh, I’m waitin’ true,
Just to be with you —
When your Cadillac turns the corner.
You guard a softness deep inside,
Like petals hid from rain,
Big thinker with a tender soul,
You make me trust the world again.
And I’m proud of how you open up,
Even after all the hurt,
You still believe in possibility —
Love growin’ through the dirt.
And oh, those twenty-threes you wear,
August sun and December air,
Baby, together we’re everywhere —
Every season, every prayer.
When your Cadillac turns the corner,
I’ll feel my whole heart bloom,
Sugar, I’m dreamin’ ‘bout the moment you come soon.
When your Cadillac turns the corner,
I’ll breathe again, I swear,
Baby, suspense is sweet when love is in the air.
Ooh, I’m waitin’ true,
Just to be with you —
When your Cadillac turns the corner.
Doo-wah… I see your headlights glowin’,
Doo-wah… I feel my heartbeat start,
Doo-wah… the night is slowly closin’,
Baby, you’re drivin’ straight into my heart.
When your Cadillac turns the corner,
I’ll feel my whole heart bloom,
Sugar, I’m dreamin’ ‘bout the moment you come soon.
When your Cadillac turns the corner,
I’ll breathe again, I swear,
Baby, suspense is sweet when love is in the air.
Ooh, I’m waitin’ true,
Just to be with you —
When your Cadillac turns the corner.
