Just a Dream Lyrics - Carrie Underwood

1 It was two weeks after the day she turned eighteen

2 All dressed in white, going to the church that night

3 She had his box of letters in the passenger seat

4 Sixpence in her shoe

5 Something borrowed, something blue

6 And when the church doors opened up wide

7 She put her veil down trying to hide the tears

8 Oh she just couldn't believe it

9 She heard the trumpets from the military band

10 And the flowers fell out of her hand

11 Baby, why'd you leave me, why'd you have to go

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

13 I can't even breathe

14 It's like I'm looking from a distance, standing in the background

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

16 This can't be happening to me

17 This is just a dream

18 The preacher man said "let's bow our heads and pray

19 Lord please lift his soul and heal this hurt"

20 Then the congregation all stood up and sang

21 The saddest song, that she ever heard

22 And then they handed her a folded up flag

23 And she held on to all she had left of him

24 Oh and what could've been

25 And then the guns rang one last shot

26 And it felt like a bullet in her heart

27 Baby, why'd you leave me, why'd you have to go

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

29 I can't even breathe

30 It's like I'm looking from a distance, standing in the background

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

32 This can't be happening to me

33 This is just a dream

34 Oh baby, why'd you leave me, why'd you have to go

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

36 Oh I'll never know

37 It's like I'm looking from a distance, standing in the background

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

39 This can't be happening to me

40 This is just a dream

41 Oh this is just a dream

42 This is just a dream

43 Yeah yeah
