Intro
Verse 1
Laura and Tommy were lovers.
He wanted to give her everything.
Flowers, presents, and most of all a wedding ring.
Verse 2
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.
Chorus
Tell Laura, I love her, tell Laura, I need her.
Tell Laura, I may be late, I have something to do,
that cannot wait.
Verse 3
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.
Verse 4
No-one knows what happened that day.
How his car over-turned in flames.
But as they pulled him from the twisted wreck,
with his dying breath, they heard him say.
Chorus
Tell Laura, I love her, tell Laura, I need her.
Tell Laura not to cry, my love for her
will never die.
Verse 5
Now in the chapel, where Laura prays,
for her Tommy, who passed away.
It was just for Laura, he lived and died.
A-lone in the chapel she can hear him cry.
Chorus
Tell Laura, I love her, tell Laura, I need her.
Tell Laura not to cry, my love for her
will never die.
