Laura is a uniquely beautiful composition, mirroring the beauty, grace and youth of its subject. The original text evokes a sense of tangible emotion... A love letter.

Laura,

How I long to hear your voice
whisp'ring to me softly.

As I gently put my arms around you,
say you love me.

How I need your love
     to make me whole;
     to let me live;
     to make my dreams come true.

Laura,

All I need is you.
You take my breath away
ev'ry time you kiss me.

When you cry,

I long to hear your laughter
replace the tears
with a smile.

I thank the Lord
     each day I see
     your starlit eyes
     shine bright!

Laura,

How I love you
     more than anything on Earth,
     because the Lord has sent me you
     from Heaven,
     my Angel on Earth.
