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...
