Carrie Underwood — Just a Dream

[Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] Ooh-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 [Chorus] 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 [Outro] Oh, this is just a dream Just a dream Yeah, yeah
