G
Once I saw the most beautiful girl
C                G
Sitting next to me
   C                     G
I asked her what was her name
     D               G
She said it was 'Laurie'

     G
She worked at the store and I opened that door
 C               G
Just to see her face
    C                       G
She always made me feel at home
   D                  G
I never felt out of place

     G
But she already had a boyfriend
    C             G
An undertaker was he
    C         G
And they got married
     D             G
And had a little baby

   G
I became obsessed with death, my friend
 C                              G
Certain that it would happen to me
    C                  G
And I would be in the hands
   D           G
Of my dear Laurie

   G
I can't explain such love aflame
  C            G
I overcame victorious
 C                    G
Filled my heart with such desire
    D            G
So grand and so glorious

 G
Laurie, sweet, an angel dear
    C              G
Is here with me today
 C                     G
Not a person, but a memory
     D                G
With me will always stay.
