He couldn't get Laura on the phone
So to her mother, Tommy said
Tell (4)__________ 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 (5)________________ driver there
The crowed roared as they started the race

No one knows what happened that day

Tell Laura not to cry
My love for her will never die
Now in the chapel where Laura prays

It was just for Laura he lived and died
Alone in the chapel she can hear him cry
Tell Laura I (7)________ her

Tell Laura not to cry
My love for her will never die
