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 grounds,
|
He was the youngest driver there;
|
The crowed roared as they started the race,
|
'Round 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 Laura prays 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!"
