Carrie Underwood - Just A Dream lyrics

It was two weeks after the day she turned 18

All dressed in white

Going to the church that night

She had his box of letters in the passenger seat

Six pins and his shoe

Something borrowed, something blue

And when the church doors opened up wide

She put her veil down

Trying to hide the tears, oh

She just couldn’t believe it

She heard the trumpets from the military band

and the flowers out of her hands

Baby, why'd you leave me

Why'd you have to go

I was counting on forever, now I'll never know

I can't even breathe

It's like I'm, looking from a distance

Standing in the background

Everybody's saying, he's not coming home now

This can't be happening to me

This is just a dream

The preacher man said, let us bow our head and pray

Lord please lift his soul and heal this hurt

Then the congregation all stood up

And sang the sadest song that she ever heard

Then they handed her a folded up flag and

She held on to all she had left of him

Oo, and what could’ve been

And then guns rang one last shot

And it felt like a bullet in her heart

Baby, why'd you leave me

Why'd you have to go

I was counting on forever, now I'll never know

I can't even breathe

It's like I'm, looking from a distance

Standing in the background

Everybody's saying, he's not coming home now

This can't be happening to me

This is just a dream

Baby, why'd you leave me

Why'd you have to go

I was counting on forever, now I'll never know

I can't even breathe

It's like I'm, looking from a distance

Standing in the background

Everybody's saying, he's not coming home now

This can't be happening to me

This is just a dream

Oh, this is just a dream

Just a dream, ya
