Carrie Underwood Just A Dream Lyrics
Songwriters: Lindsey, Hillary; Mcewan, Steve; Sampson, Gordie;
It was two weeks after the day she turned 18
All dressed in white, goin' to the church that night
She had his box of letters in the passenger seat
Six pins in her shoe, somethin' borrowed, somethin' blue

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

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

The preacher man said, “Let's 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

And then they handed her a folded up flag
And she held on to all she had left of him
Oh, well, what could've 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 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

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

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

Oh, this is just a dream
It's just a dream, yeah, yeah

This is my favorite song on the whole CD, My boyfriend is in the Navy and he's going away to the middle east soon and when i heard this song for the first time i was on my way to see him, and I couldn't help but start crying, it was what was in verse 2 that really got me "they handed her a folded up flag and she held on to all she had left of him." SO Sad! But an amazing song. WOW!

okay thanks kellyclarksonrox that helps

This song is the best song I've ever heard! It is so sad...it took me everything I had not to cry.
This sounds like what happened with my cousin and her husband. He went off to Iraq and was killed.

And to answer your question dream411, this is about a girl's fiance. She was preparing for a wedding but ended up going to a funeral.

this is an amazing song and so sad , I haven't heard one song by Carrie Underwood that I haven't liked yet.


Female Oct 26, 2007 at 10:51 PM by dream411 Female Stars

i just got her cd and i love this song! it's 1 of the best on her new cd! but i'm confused a little, is this song about her boyfriend/fiance/husband dying? or what? it's stil an awsome song though....
