Think of Laura
Christopher Cross Lyrics
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
When you think of Laura laugh don't cry
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
I know you and you're here
In everyday we live
I know her and 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

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

My daughter Laura was killed 3 years ago while she was out jogging. She was 20 years old and beautiful. I cry every time I hear this song. Taken away too soon💕

I deeply sorry for your loss of your beatiful daughter Laura, I am a runner as well and have experienced close encounters with careless and dumb motorists who don't respect traffic laws.

"Think of Laura" was written to mourn the death of Denison University college student Laura Carter who was killed when she was struck by a stray bullet fired over a block away, during an altercation between four men. Cross was dating Paige, Laura's roommate at the time and he wrote this to comfort her. Beautiful song.
