"Laurie" as written by and David Raksin....
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.
