a little acoustic british -pop song about a girl named Laura
americana
folk rock
alternative country
70s rock
Story behind the song
I was remembering those songs about girls that you would hum to yourself while walking home from school, it seemed such an innocent time with a transistor radio and a mono ear plug.
Lyrics
" Laura "
Lately theres something in the air
she walks as softly as a dove
( her ) laughter falls from the rooftops above
Lately there's something on her mind
it's in the way she takes her time
oooo every little thing shes does
she does so sweetly
she does it , she does it , she does it for to me .
There she goes on her way to work
I know I haven't got a chance
but I've got to try
to catch her eye
it's in the way she takes her time
oooo every little thing she does
she does so sweeetly
she does it, she does it, she does it for me.
Chorus
Laura , Oh Laura
If you only knew
Laura , Oh Laura
I 'm so in love with you
I guess I 'll go on hoping
for someone like you
Bridge
Laura, Laura, Laura
Every day I wait by the mailbox
trying to find a reason to talk to her
but I can't bring myself to say the words
My thoughts unwind
I'm not so self assured
it's in the way she walks on by
ooooo every little thing she does
she does it, she does it, she does it for me .
chorus
Laura oh laura
I'm so in love with you
Laura Oh laura
if you only knew
I guess I 'll go on hoping
for a girl just like you.
