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 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 fron the twisted wreck
With his dying breath they heard him, say
 
 

Tell Laura I love her
Tell Laura I need her
Tell Laura I may be late
I've something to do that cannot wait
 

Now in the chapel where Laura prays
For her Tommy who has past 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
Tell Laura I love her
Tell Laura I need her
