Carrie Underwood - Just a Dream lyrics

It was two weeks after the
Day she turned eighteen
All dressed in white
Goin' to the church that night
She had his box of letters
In the passenger seat
Sixpence in a shoe, somethin' borrowed
Somethin' blue

And when the church doors opened up wide
She put her veil down
Tryin' to hide the tears
Oh, she just couldn't believe it
She heard the trumpets from the military band
And the flowers fell out of her hands

Baby, why'd you leave me? Why'd
You have to go? I was countin' on forever
Now I'll never know i can't even breathe
It's like I'm lookin' from a distance
Standin' in the background
Everybody's sayin' he's not comin' home now
This can't be happenin' to me
This is just a dream

The preacher man said
"Let us bow our heads and pray lord, please
Lift his soul and heal this hurt"
Then the congregation all stood up and sang
The saddest song that she ever heard

And then they handed her a folded-up flag
And she held on to all she had left of him
Oh, and what could have been
And then the 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 countin' on forever
Now I'll never know i can't even breathe
It's like I'm lookin' from a distance
Standin' in the background
Everybody's sayin' he's not comin' home now
This can't be happenin' to me
This is just a dream

Ooh, baby
Why'd you leave me? Why'd you have to go?
I was countin' on forever
Now I'll never know oh, I'll never know

It's like I'm lookin' from a distance
Standin' in the background
Everybody's sayin' he's not comin' home now
This can't be happenin' to me
This is just a dream

Oh, this is just a dream just a dream
Yeah, yeah
