Johnston, Daniel - Laurie Lyrics
Once I saw the most beautiful girl
Sitting next to me
I asked her what was her name
She said it was 'Laurie'
Just to see her face
She always made me feel at home
I never felt out of place
But she already had a boyfriend
An undertaker was he
And they got married
And had a little baby
I became obsessed with death, my friend
And I would be in the hands
Of my dear Laurie
I can't explain such love aflame
I overcame victorious
Filled my heart with such desire
So grand and so glorious
Laurie, sweet, an angel dear
Is here with me today
Not a person, but a memory
With me will always stay

Johnston, Daniel Laurie Comments
Everything Daniel touched was sad and beautiful and scary--we'll not see the like of him again.
One of a kind.
The guitar chord?
Much respect to Daniel! R.I.P. legend
Heaven is the only eternal plane suited for Daniel
Did he keep in touch with her up till his passing?

Thanks Daniel. You are immortal now!
Descansa al fin de todos tus demonios y desamores.
Thanks Daniel! Rest in peace! Such a great songwriter :(
laurie should have gone with Daniel..
Que hermosa la letra ❤️
Que linda canción de amor me encanta ,la
de un amor inocente, ingenuo se nota, de una simpleza,ternura única, se siente la tristeza de Daniel en su voz que lástima que la tal Laurie no lo haya valorado y no lo tomara en serio ante tal declaración pura y hermosa de amor en sus canciones que él le dedicó se lo perdió por burra, hay mujeres que no valoran nada de estas muestras de amor verdadero y puro porque no nacieron para ello nacieron para otro tipo de hombres y placeres más mundanos... Soy del mismo club Daniel Johnston afortunadamente 😊 ❤️ y con razón le gustaba a otros artistas sensibles como Kurt Cobain
As visto la pelicula de daniel?
En la pelicula platican de ella y lo que Paso con los dos. Pobre hombre como sufrio de la cabesa. Sus cansionos me encantan.
Ellos se encuentran despues de 20 y pico de años y cuando la vio se fue corriendo y nadie lo encontraba pero al final lo encontroraon y se abrazaron
3 people accidentally pressed the unlike button
Lets give em the benefit of doubt and think they had tears in their eyes
Lyrics:
Once I saw the most beautiful girl
Sitting next to me
I asked her what was her name
She said it was 'Laurie'
She worked at the store and I opened that door
Just to see her face
She always made me feel at home
I never felt out of place
But she already had a boyfriend
An undertaker was he
And they got married
And had a little baby
I became obsessed with death, my friend
Certain that it would happen to me
And I would be in the hands
Of my dear Laurie
I can't explain such love aflame
I overcame victorious
Filled my heart with such desire
So grand and so glorious
Laurie, sweet, an angel dear
Is here with me today
Not a person, but a memory
With me will always stay.
My girl Laurie was a fool to not pick him smh hes so sweet! N shit...like damn. Just wish he was better to find better too. I mean its not too late!
inglés
Una vez vi a la chica más hermosa
Sentado a mi lado
Le pregunté cuál era su nombre
Ella dijo que era "Laurie"
Trabajaba en la tienda y abrí esa puerta
Sólo para ver su cara
Ella siempre me hizo sentir como en casa
Nunca me sentí fuera de lugar
Pero ella ya tenía un novio
Un funerario era él
Y se casaron
Y tenía un bebé pequeño
Me obsesioné con la muerte, amigo mío
Seguro que me pasaría a mí
Y estaría en las manos
De mi querida Laurie
No puedo explicar ese amor en llamas
Yo venciendo victorioso
Llené mi corazón con tal deseo
Tan grandioso y glorioso
Laurie, dulce, un ángel cariño
Está aquí conmigo hoy
No es una persona, sino un recuerdo
Conmigo siempre se queda
Gracias por traducir mi himno
I love he's music, should be even more popular...
totally! but they're both great
my name is Laurie and I work in a store. Life is good...
Lrpesme48 my name is Laurie too, and I also work in a store. What's really ironic is my husband is Danny.
Funny how he'd already written like 200 songs about her before he wrote this one...
wonder if he considers it the definitive ode to "the love of his life".
Anybody else think Neutral Milk Hotel picked up a few tricks from this guy, and more specifically this song?
I told my wife that he sounds like atom and his package meets neutral milk hotel meets jandek
Maravilloso!
This song is beautiful, but it reminds me Frosty the Snow Man. Best damn "Frosty The Snowman Theme" I ever heard though.
@SignoreAlan no you
you're just a head, just a pothead. I wonder if you realize you forgot to brush your teeth!
love the second verse so much
Great artist. Great song. Daniel is a huge inspiration for me. Thanks for this version, never heard it before.
I wish that I could write songs even half as beautiful and catchy as this. Daniel Johnston is absolutely genius.
that it is.
