They played this in "General Hospital" for those who used to watch. The words are touching. I saw "Arthur" yesterday and since Chris Cross is the one who sings the theme to that movie I had to look this one too.
This song was popular when I was in high school, and I got embarrassed by the daily serenades. But it also reminds me of all the fun I had, too! Great song, thanks for posting!
This song has a sad yet also wonderful meaning to me as I lost my beautiful Arleen to cancer some 33yrs ago she was 21 and I was 18 and I loved her very much.
@victoriaannegrace I'm sorry for your loss. This is a beautiful song and I'm sure Laura would be very happy to know you played this song. I'm Laura too and would love if my friends/family played this song when I die.
Cross did not write this for the show. Laura was the best friend of a lady he was dating at the time in the early '80s. She was killed by a stray bullet while driving in a car one night, and Cross wrote this for her. About a year after the song was released on Another Page, General Hospital requested permission to use the song on their show, and it became a hit.
@jgraz42 No, this was not written for that stupid Luke and Laura soap-It was written for his sister's best friend who was shot in the head walking down the stray by a stray bullit.

@chuckghutch I just said it wasn't written for the soap show. Only thing I had wrong was it was not his sister's friend but a friend of Cross's girlfriend. I remember the song on the radio before the soap used it.
The only person I think of when I hear this song is Laura Szendrei. She was only 15 and passed away from a brutal attack in a park in my town recently :( RIP Laura <3
Beautiful song, but lost my high school girlfriend "Laura" when song came out. It hurt so much back then, but now it is reminds me of the great memories we did share and make together.
Beautiful song, but lost my high school girlfriend "Laura" when this song came out. It hurt so much way back now, but now it is so good to look at the great memories we did share together.

Great ballad, makes you think of past loved ones. Have to understand empathy though, so if you don't like, then your heartless.

When you think of Laura, but,
Laugh! Don't cry. I know she'd want it that way.
A friend of a friend, a friend till the end.
That's the kind of girl she was.....
Taken away so young. Taken away, without a warning.
