Laura and Tommy were lovers
|
He wanted to give her everything
|
Flowers, presents,
|
But 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 grounds
|
He was the youngest driver there
|
The crowed roared as they started the race
|
Around the track they drove at a deadly pace
|
|
No one knows what happened that day
|
Or 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 poor 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 need her
|
Tell Laura not to cry
|
My love for her will never die
|
