Lyrics

once I saw the most beautiful girl
sitting next to me
I ask her what was her name
she said it was Laurie

she worked at a store and I opened that door
just to see her face
she always makes me feel adore
I never felt that again

Laurie sweet Laurie

but she already had a boyfriend
an undertaker was her
and they got married
and had a boy baby

I became obsessed with math
certain it would happen to me
and I would be in the path of my dear Laurie

Laurie sweet Laurie

I can explain such love’s a flame
I overcame with grief
build my heart with love on fire
so brand in such grief

Laurie sweet an angel dear
is here with me today
not in person but in memory
with me will always safe

ie sweet Laurie
