Ray Peterson - Tell Laura I Love Her

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 grounds,
He was the youngest driver there
And The crowed 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 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
Tell Laura I love her,
Tell Laura I love her,
Tell Laura I love her,
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 grounds,
He was the youngest driver there
And The crowed roared as

'Round the track they drove

No one knows

How his car overturned in flames,
But as they pulled him

tell Laura I need her,
Tell Laura not to cry,
my love for her will never die
And in the chapel Laura prays
For her Tommy who passed away
It was just for Laura

Alone in the chapel

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 love her,
Tell Laura I love her,
