Tell Laura I Love Her
Ritchie Valens

Laura and Tommy where 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 couldnt get Laura on the phone, so to her mother, Tommy said

Tell Laura I lover her,
Tell laura I need her
Tell Laura i may be late,
I've something to do, that can not wait

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

no one knows what happend that day, how his car over turned in flames, but as they pulled him from the twisted wreck, with his dying breath, they heard him say

Tell Laura I lover 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 could hear him cry

Tell Laura I lover her,
Tell laura I need her
Tell Laura not to cry
my love for her will never die

Tell Laura I lover her,
Tell laura I need her
