Skeeter Davis - Tell Laura I Love Her lyrics

rate me

(Ben Raleigh - Jeff Barry)

Ray Peterson

Laura and Tommy were lovers he wanted to give here everything

Flowers presents and most of all a wedding ring

He saw a sign for a stockcar race a thousand dollar price 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 crowd roared as they started to race

From the truck 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 Loura 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 love her...
