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 passangers seat six pence in her 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’ve been And then 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 Ooh, 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

Just A Dream
By Carrie Underwood
2008
It was two weeks after the day she turned 18All dressed in white
Going to the church that night
she had his box of letters in the passangers seat
six pence in her 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’ve been
And then 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
Ooh, 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
