Ray Peterson - Tell Laura I Love Her lyrics

Laura and Tommy were lovers He wanted to give her everything Flowers, presents, but most of all, a wedding ring 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 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 grounds He was the youngest driver there The crowd roared as they started the race Around the track they drove at a deadly pace No one knows what happened that day Or 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 where Laura prays For her poor Tommy, who pa**ed away It was just for Laura he lived and died Alone in the chapel she can hear him cry (Grazie a Ma**imo per questo testo)
