Christopher Cross(born Christopher Charles
Geppert; May 3, 1951) is an American singer, songwriter, musician, and composer
from San Antonio, Texas. Cross won five Grammy Awards for his eponymous
debut album released in 1979. The singles "Sailing"
(1980), and "Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do)"
(from the 1981 film Arthur)
peaked at number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.
"Sailing" earned three Grammys in 1981, while "Arthur's
Theme" won the Oscar for Best Original
Song in 1981 (with co-composers Burt Bacharach, Carole Bayer Sager,
and Peter Allen).
"Think of Laura" is a popular song
by the American Grammy Award-winning
singer-songwriter Christopher Cross.
Released as a single in late 1983 from Cross's second studio album, Another Page,
"Think of Laura" became the singer's fourth (and, to date, final)
single to reach the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, where it peaked at Nº 9 in early 1984. The song spent eleven
weeks in the Top 40. In addition, the song
became Cross's third single to hit Nº 1 on the adult
contemporary chart, following "Never Be the Same"
and "Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do)".
"Think of Laura" remained at Nº 1 on this chart for four weeks. The
song was written by Cross and produced by Michael Omartian.
Every once in a while
I'd see her smile
And she'd turn my day around
A girl with those eyes
Could stare through the lies
And see what your heart was saying
Think of Laura but
laugh don't cry
I know she'd want it that way
When you think of Laura 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
I know you and you're
here
In everyday we live
I know her and she's here
I can feel her when I sing.
Hey Laura, where are
you now
Are you far away from here
I don't think so
I think you're here
Taking our tears away.
