|
Once I saw the most beautiful girl |
|
Sitting next to me |
|
I asked her what was her name |
|
She said it was 'Laurie' |
|
She worked at the store and I opened that door |
|
Just to see her face |
|
She always made me feel at home |
|
I never felt out of place |
|
But she already had a boyfriend |
|
An undertaker was he |
|
And they got married |
|
And had a little baby |
|
I became obsessed with death, my friend |
|
Certain that it would happen to me |
|
And I would be in the hands |
|
Of my dear Laurie |
|
I can't explain such love aflame |
|
I overcame victorious |
|
Filled my heart with such desire |
|
So grand and so glorious |
|
Laurie, sweet, an angel dear |
|
Is here with me today |
|
Not a person, but a memory |
|
With me will always stay. |
