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 stockcar 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.
|
'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,
|
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...
