It's been a year since we last met
But you're still clear in my mind
You gave me things I can't forget
You gave me love I still can't find

Oh Laura, I miss you so
Oh Laura
Oh

Sometimes I see you in my dreams
When I wake up my troubled mind, yeah
I found a new love for myself
You know I do the best I can, yeah

Oh Laura, I miss you so
Oh Laura
Oh

I hope that we meet again
Oh, I've rehearsed the things I'd say
And if that should never be
I'll love you till I'm blown away

Oh Laura, I miss you so
Oh Laura
Oh yeah

I miss you so
Need you so
Laura, Laura

The Babys are a British rock band most famous for their hit songs “Every Time I Think of You” and “Isn’t it Time”. The band featured vocalist John Waite, and future Journey keyboardist Jonathan Cain.

The band’s name was originally a joke that stuck. According to Waite:

We took the name simply because the record companies wouldn’t listen to any bands they thought were rock & roll. I mean, they wanted sure-fire teen bands, pre-teen bands. We couldn’t get anybody down to hear us to get a record deal, so we called ourselves The Babys. We thought we’d keep the name just for two weeks. Then, the word got around in London that there was a band playing rock & roll called The Babys and it seemed so off the wall, so completely crazy, that it was worth taking a shot with. It really appealed to everyone’s sense of humor.
