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 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 ground 
He was the youngest driver there 
The crowed roared as they started the race 
Round the track 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 where 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 need her
