YEARBOOK

By John D. Loudermilk

Everyone's signing each other's yearbook
Everyone's laughing and having fun
I've traded yearbooks, and sign them all but one

Everyone's signing each other's yearbook
Everyone's happy, but I am blue
Because my yearbook hasn't been signed by you

The others have been just notes to friends
Like, "Lots of luck always to you"
But I'm keeping clear a whole page for you, dear
To write simply, "I love you"

Everyone's signing each other's yearbook
Everyone's happy, but I am blue
Because my yearbook hasn't been signed by you

The sheet music gives one more verse, which wasn't on the 45-release:
[But dear, when I grow up someday you'll show up
And fill in the page reserved for you
And take the true love kept there inside for you]
