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...
