Think of Laura
MYMP Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
The song starts off with the singer acknowledging how the mere sight of Laura's smile can turn their day around. The lyrics suggest that Laura possessed a unique ability to see beyond people's lies and into their hearts. The chorus encourages us to think of Laura but not to cry for her because the singer knows that she wouldn't want that. The second verse reminds us that Laura was not just a casual acquaintance but a friend of a friend, a kind and loyal one at that. The song then takes a somber turn as the lyrics – "Taken away so young, Taken away without a warning" – imply that Laura has passed away suddenly.
Despite the tragedy of her passing, the song ultimately takes on a positive and uplifting tone. The singer acknowledges that even though Laura may no longer be physically present, she is still with them in some way. The bridge of the song is a direct addressing of Laura where the singer asks her where she is, suggesting that she is not that far away and that they can still feel her presence when they sing.
Overall, "Think of Laura" is a touching and emotional tribute to a friend who has left this world too soon. The song's theme encourages us to celebrate the life of those who have passed away by remembering them with joy and laughter, rather than with tears and sorrow.

Every once in a while I'd see her smile
From time to time, I would observe her beaming face
And she'd turn my day around
Her cheerful demeanor was contagious and could brighten up my day
