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
