Lyrics

At ten years old I had a glimpse
When you were too young to know
You wanted a little purse with lipstick
All I wanted was a hot rod to go

Not hunting or fishing
Not sure to go with the guys
But take you to fine restaurants
Where you wanted to dine

Laura Sweet Laura why did you go
Why were you the one
To leave me broken hearted
Now I'm the one that’s alone

I will never forget
Two guides, with a plan
You, my biggest cheerleader
And I was your biggest fan

Now that we are past our prime
Our nest is empty too
Sighing for each other’s love
Our views are still anew

Our ten perfect years as one
I know it wasn't me
A minute with you is all I ask
Lord please, grant my plea

If I chose a moment
We perfectly did share
They would all be precious
Now vows seen in gray hair

Laura Sweet Laura why did you go
Why were you the one
To leave me broken hearted

Laura Sweet Laura why did you go
Why were you the one
To leave me broken hearted
Now I'm the one that’s alone

Laura Sweet Laura why did you go
Why were you the one
To leave me broken hearted
Now I'm the one that’s alone
Now I'm the one that’s alone
Now I'm the one that’s alone
