TELL LAURA I LOVE HER -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
Tell Laura I love her
Tell Laura I need her
Tell Laura not to cry
My love for her will never die
Tell Laura I love her
Tell Laura I need her
Tell Laura not to cry
My love for her will never die
TELL TOMMY I MISS HIM - Marilyn Michaels
Tommy my sweetheart is gone now
He's up in heaven somewhere
So little star high above
If you see Tommy tell him of my love.
Tell Tommy I love him
Tell Tommy I miss him
Tell him though I may try
My love for him will never die.
He drove his car in that stockcar race
To win money so we could wed
He wanted so much to make me his wife
Now our love lives on though he lost his life.
I'm so lonely without him near
Oh, how I miss his warm embrace
I'll love no other I want him to know
Oh, little star please tell him so.
Tell Tommy I love him
Tell Tommy I miss him
Tell him though I may try
My love for him will never die.
Although he wanted to give me the world
Why did he do such a reckless thing
Little star he should have realized
I was richer than a queen when he looked into my eyes.
Tell Tommy I love him
Tell Tommy I miss him
Tell him though I may try
My love for him will never die.
I REALLY DON'T WANT TO KNOW - Elvis Presley
How many arms have held you
and hated to let you go?
How many, how many I wonder?
But I really don't wanna know . . .
How many lips have kissed you
and set your soul aglow?
How many, how many I wonder?
But I really don't wanna know ( Want to know! )
So always make me wonder
always make me guess
And even if I ask you
darling don't confess . . .
Just let it remain your secret
but darling I love you so . . .
No wonder, no wonder I wonder,
Though I really don't wanna to know . . .
I REALLY WANT YOU TO KNOW - Skeeter Davis
How many arms have held me
And hated to let me go
How many, I'll tell you the answer
'Cause I really want you to know.
Other arms have held me
And others have kissed me too
But now they have all been forgotten
Since the day that I learned to love you.
I didn't know of true love
To me it was just a game
But I only belong to you love
So I am not ashamed.
No reason to keep a secret
What happened long ago
Don't wonder, my darling, don't wonder
'Cause I really want you to know..
HONEY (I MISS YOU) - Tammy Wynette
See the tree how big it's grown
But that it hasn't been too long, it wasn't big
You laughed at me and I got mad
The first day that I planted, it was just a twig.
Then the first snow came and I ran out
To brush the snow away so it wouldn't die
Came runnin' in all excited slipped and almost hurt myself
And you laughed till you cried.
Yes, you were always young at heart
Kinda dumb and kinda smart and I loved you so
You surprised me with a puppy
Kept me up all Christmas Eve two years ago.
And you could sure embarrass me
When you came home from working late 'cause you would know
That I'd been all alone and cryin'
Over some sad and lonely late, late show.
And honey, I miss you too
And I know you're being good
And I'd love to be with you
If only I could.
I wrecked the car and I was sad
And so afraid that you'd be mad, but what the heck
All afternoon you stormed around
But I knew how to cool you down, I hugged your neck.
You came home unexpectedly
And caught me crying needlessly in the middle of the day
And it was in the early spring
When flowers bloom and robins sing, I went away.
And honey, I miss you too
And I know you're being good
And I'd love to be with you
AIf only I could.
One day you were not at home
While I was there and all alone, the angels came
Guess you thought it strange of me
To leave the way I did that day, it was a shame.
But now your laughter just began
And even though you miss me hon, you must go on
And when the snow fly passes overhead
And cries down on my flower bed.
You know you're not alone.
See the tree how big it's grown
But that it hasn't been too long, it wasn't big
You laughed at me and I got mad
The first day that I planted, it was just a twig...
