Laurie (Strange Things Happen) Dickey Lee Last night at the dance I met Laurie So lovely and warm An angle 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 And 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 and said I knocked at her door And a man appeared I told him why i'd come And 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 daughter left this world on her birthday She died a year ago today A strage force drew me to the graveyard I stood in the cold I saw the shadows gleam And then I saw my sweater Lying there upon her grave Strange things happen in this world
