TELL LAURA I LOVE HER

        Ricky Valance





        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
        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 where Laura prays
        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 love her.....
