Laura and Tommy were lovers
He wanted to give her everything 
Flowers, presents and most of all a weddingring
He saw a sign for a stockcar race 
A thousand dollar price it red 
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 maybe late
I've got something to do,
that cannot wait

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 he drove at a deadly place 
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 heared 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 Laura prays 
For a 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

Tell Laura I love her
Tell Laura I need her

Tell Laura I love her
