Songtekst
Laura and Tommy were lovers
He wanted to give her ev'rything:
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 r need her!
Tell Laura ! 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 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.
