Laurie (Strange Things Happen)

Last night at the dance I met Laurie, So lovely and warm, an angel of a girl. Last night I fell in love with Laurie - Strange things happen in this world. As I walked her home, She said it was her birthday. I pulled her close and said "Will I see you anymore?" Then suddenly she asked for my sweater And said that she was very, very cold. I kissed her goodnight At her door and started home, Then thought about my sweater And went right back instead. I knocked at her door and a man appeared. I told why I'd come, then he said: "You're wrong, son. You weren't with my daughter. How can you be so cruel To come to me this way? My Laurie left this world on her birthday - She died a year ago today." A strange force drew me to the graveyard. I stood in the dark, I saw the shadows wave, And then I looked and saw my sweater Lyin' there upon her grave. Strange things happen in this world.
