lyrics
We were young, seventeen
She was the prettiest thing I’d ever seen
And I always knew we coulda been
Something more than just a teenage dream
And I loved her laugh, and I loved her smile
And I lost myself in those big blue eyes
And I still find that I’m thinking to myself at night…
Whatever happened to Laura Jones?
They always said she’d be a star
“Mark my words, girl, you’re gonna go far
And get yourself a fancy car
A Rolls Royce or a Jaguar”
And they built her up and they knocked her down
And she tried so hard to make it out of this town
And I still find that I’m thinking to myself at night…
Whatever happened to Laura Jones?
And so it is, you drift apart
But thinking back to the very start
Well I know I didn’t get the part
But I’m still sure I coulda won her heart
And I miss her laugh, and a miss her smile
And I miss looking in those big blue eyes
And I still find that I’m thinking to myself at night…
Whatever happened to Laura Jones?
She was the prettiest thing I’d ever seen
And I always knew we coulda been
Something more than just a teenage dream
And I loved her laugh, and I loved her smile
And I lost myself in those big blue eyes
And I still find that I’m thinking to myself at night…
Whatever happened to Laura Jones?
They always said she’d be a star
“Mark my words, girl, you’re gonna go far
And get yourself a fancy car
A Rolls Royce or a Jaguar”
And they built her up and they knocked her down
And she tried so hard to make it out of this town
And I still find that I’m thinking to myself at night…
Whatever happened to Laura Jones?
And so it is, you drift apart
But thinking back to the very start
Well I know I didn’t get the part
But I’m still sure I coulda won her heart
And I miss her laugh, and a miss her smile
And I miss looking in those big blue eyes
And I still find that I’m thinking to myself at night…
Whatever happened to Laura Jones?
