Tell Laura I love her

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 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
'Round the track they drove at a deadly pace
No one knows what happened 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 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 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……

和我同一年代的人大抵都知曉“玫瑰之夜“這節目:主持人是曾慶渝和澎恰恰。

當然,“鬼話連篇“的單元讓這節目的知名度水漲船高;但我個人卻偏愛和歌曲介紹有關的節目。(忘了節目名稱)

在那節目,知道不同時代國內外被禁的歌曲;爾後曾慶渝會親自演唱。

當時,我才知道原來港劇“新難兄難弟“裡,梁家輝和劉嘉玲跳舞的歌曲是:Tell Laura I Love Her.

此外,還有一首回應此曲的歌曲叫Tell Tommy I Miss Him.

但我花盡了心思就是找不到Tell Tommy I Miss Him.若有人提供,我會十分感激 :-)

這mv,十分有趣;但歌聲動人指數,不變。
