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  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   Now 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  Tell Laura I love her  Tell Laura I need her
