Tell Laura I Love Her Lyrics

You can play the chords elsewhere if you like. This is just the way I do it.
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
