THINK OF LAURA
(Christopher Cross)

Christopher Cross - 1983



(Dear Laura, Laura, ooohhh)
(Dear Laura, Laura)

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, yeah
When you think of Laura, laugh, don't cry
I know she'd want it that way

A friend of a friend, a friend till 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, yeah
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 every day we live
I know her and know she's here
I can feel her when I sing

Hey 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, yeah
When you think of Laura, laugh, don't cry
I know she'd want it that way, hey, yeah
Well, I know she'd want it that way
(Want it that way) Hey, Laura (Laura)
Hey, Laura, I know she'd want it that way
(Want it that way) Hey, Laura (Laura)
Hey, Laura, I know you'd want it that way
Hey, Laura
