/ /
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
/
And 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
/ /
And in the chapel where 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
