Just a Dream Songtext
von Carrie Underwood

It was two weeks after the day she turned eighteen
All dressed in white
Going to the church that night
She had his box of letters in the passenger seat
Sixpence in 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

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 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

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 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
Oh, I′ll never know

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
Yeah, yeah
