Tell Laura I Love Her Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Laura and Tommy were lovers
He wanted to give her everything
Flowers, presents
And most of all a wedding ring

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus 1]
Tell Laura I love her
Tell Laura I need her
Tell Laura I may be late
I've something to do that cannot wait

[Verse 3]
He drove his car to the racing ground
He was the youngest driver there
The crowd roared as they started the race
Round the track they drove at a deadly pace

[Verse 4]
No-one knows what happened that day
Or how his car over-turned in flames

But as they pulled him from the twisted wreck
With his dying breath they heard him say
[Chorus 2]
Tell Laura I love her
Tell Laura I need her
Tell Laura not to cry
My love for her will never die


[Verse 5]
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


[Chorus 2]
Tell Laura I love her
Tell Laura I need her
Tell Laura not to cry
My love for her will never die

[Tag]
Tell Laura I love her
Tell Laure I love her...

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
