Tell Laura I Love Her

Tell Laura I Love Her - Skeeter Davis

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 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 laura 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
