Laura and Tommy were lovers He wanted to give her everything Flowers, presents, but 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 Around the track they drove at a deadly pace No one knows what happened that day Or 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 poor Tommy, who passed away It was just for Laura he lived and died Alone in the chapel she can hear him cry
Almost Like Being in Love/On the Street Where You Live - Barbara Brussell
What a day this has been What a rare mood I'm in Why it's almost like being in love
There's a smile on my face For the whole human race Why it's almost like being in love
All the music of life seems to be Like a bell that is ringing for me And from the way that I feel What that bell starts to peal I would swear I was falling, I could swear I was falling It's almost like being in love
I have often walked Down the street before, But the pavement always Stayed beneath my feet before. All at once am I Several stories high, Knowing I'm on the street where you live.
Are there lilac trees In the heart of town? Can you hear a lark in any other part of town? Does enchantment pour Out of every door? No, its just on the street where you live.
And oh, the towering feeling Just to know somehow you are near The overpowering feeling That any second you may suddenly appear.
And from the way that I feel What that bell starts to peal I would swear I was falling, I could swear I was falling It's almost like being in love It's almost like being in love
Laura and Tommy were lovers
ReplyDeleteHe wanted to give her everything
Flowers, presents, but 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
Around the track they drove at a deadly pace
No one knows what happened that day
Or 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 poor Tommy, who passed away
It was just for Laura he lived and died
Alone in the chapel she can hear him cry

ReplyDeleteI love you for sentimental reasons
I hope you do believe me
I'll give you my heart

Please give your loving heart to me
