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.

Outro

Tell Laura, I love her, tell Laura, I need her.
