Tell Laura I Love Her lyrics

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

'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...

Well in the chapel
all at praise

For 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...
