Tell Laura I Love Her

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.
