Every once in a while I'd see her smile

And she'd turn my day around

A girl with those eyes

Could stare through the lies

And see what your heart was saying



Think of Laura

But laugh don't cry

I know she'd want it that way (hey)

When you think of Laura

Laugh don't cry

I know she'd want it that way



A friend of a friend

A friend to the end

That's the kind of girl she was

Taken away so young

Taken away without a warning



Think of Laura

But laugh don't cry

I know she'd want it that way (hey)

When you think of Laura

Laugh don't cry

I know she'd want it that way



I know you and you're here

In everyday we live

I know her and well she's here

I can feel her when I sing



Hey Laura (Laura)

Where are you now? 

Are you far away from here? 

I don't think so

I think you're here

Taking our tears away



Think of Laura

But laugh don't cry

I know she'd want it that way (hey)

When you think of Laura

Laugh don't cry

I know she'd want it that way



... Hey, hey... 



Well, I know, she'd want it that way

Hey, Laura, hey, Laura

I know she'd want it that way

Hey, Laura

Hey, Laura

I know you want it that way
