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.
