Irene,

Dont have lyrics...but "Tell Laura I Love Her"
is by Ray Peterson, RCA Records, 1960.

It is a typical "teenage tragedy song" of the era...
about a guy in love who died in a car wreck.

Tell Laura I Love Her

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 grounds,
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 Laura prays 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!"

Hi, Irene

Here it is. And if you need any more lyrics try "Lyrics World". It's
something. You can find almost anything there. The adress?

I don't have the author's name here but let me know if you need it: I
have the record.

TELL LAURA I LOVE HER
Ray Peterson

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 grounds


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

And in the chapel where Laura prays
For 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.....
