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
|
Tell Laura I love her
|
Tell Laura I love her
|
e the time and get it right
|
