Just a Dream by Carrie Underwood (Lyrics and Video)

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 a 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 fell out of her hands


(Chorus)

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 saddest song that she ever heard


Then they handed her a folded up flag
And she held on to all she had left of him
Oh, and what could've been
And then guns rang one last shot
And it felt like a bullet in her heart


(Chorus x2)
