|
Laura and Tommy were lovers |
|
He wanted to give her everything |
|
Flowers, presents |
|
And most of all, a wedding ring |
|
He saw a sign for a stock car race |
|
A thousand dollar prize it read |
|
He couldn't get Laura on the phone |
|
So to her mother, Tommy said |
|
Tell Laura I love her |
|
Tell Laura I need her |
|
Tell Laura I may be late |
|
I've something to do, that cannot wait |
|
He drove his car to the racing ground |
|
He was the youngest driver there |
|
The crowd roared as they started the race |
|
Around the track they drove at a deadly pace |
|
No one knows what happened that day |
|
How his car overturned in flames |
|
But as they pulled him from the twisted wreck |
|
With his dying breath, they heard him say |
|
Tell Laura I love her |
|
Tell Laura I need her |
|
Tell Laura not to cry |
|
My love for her will never die |
|
Now in the chapel where Laura prays |
|
For her Tommy, who passed away |
|
It was just for Laura, he lived and died |
|
Alone in the chapel, she can hear him cry |
|
Tell Laura I love her |
|
Tell Laura I need her |
|
Tell Laura not to cry |
|
My love for her will never die |
|
Tell Laura I love her |
|
Tell Laura I love her |
