God what a dreadful thread .... but regardless here I am posting another pathetic song to the list from bygone days ... BTW Joe, how can we beat Honey.
Tell Laura I Love Her by Ray Peterson
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
