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 sport 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 have 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
From the track they drove at a deadly pace
No one knows what happened that day
How his car overturn in flames
As they pull 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

In the chapel Laura prayed
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
