Some Things Will Never Change
By now you're somewhere over the Atlantic
Whitecaps on the ocean winking up at your plane
And by now you've probably drifted off to sleep
After all it's been a rich and full day
And tomorrow you'll be waking up and getting on a train
And tomorrow you'll be learning some new words to say
What is French for I miss you, what is Chinese for I love you
How do you say some things will never change
Some things will never change, my love is in your pocket
Some things will never change, my love's behind your ear
Some things will never change, no matter how far you fly from here
Remember how at the end of every summer
We would drive back to the city and you'd holler hello
Hello you would call out from your car seat
To the bridges and streets, you called them beautiful
Now you're off to see the world, you're not in my back seat
And I am not the one behind the wheel
So God speed to that pilot, and God speed to the four winds
That will carry you where you will
Some things will never change, like the way you light up my sky
Never change, every time you smile
Some things will never change, you're smiling in my mind's eye
No matter how far you fly, some things will never change
You know, you know, you know
Some things will never change, my love is in your pocket...
