Every once in a while I'd see her smile
And she'd turn my day around
A girl with those eyes
Could stare through the lies
And see what your heart was saying

Think of Laura
But laugh don't cry
I know she'd want it that way (hey)
When you think of Laura
Laugh don't cry
I know she'd want it that way

A friend of a friend
A friend to the end
That's the kind of girl she was
Taken away so young
Taken away without a warning

Think of Laura
But laugh don't cry
I know she'd want it that way (hey)
When you think of Laura
Laugh don't cry
I know she'd want it that way

I know you and you're here
In everyday we live
I know her and well she's here
I can feel her when I sing

Hey Laura (Laura)
Where are you now?
Are you far away from here?
I don't think so
I think you're here
Taking our tears away

Think of Laura
But laugh don't cry
I know she'd want it that way (hey)
When you think of Laura
Laugh don't cry
I know she'd want it that way

Hey, hey

Well, I know, she'd want it that way
Hey, Laura, hey, Laura
I know she'd want it that way
Hey, Laura
Hey, Laura
I know you want it that way
