Just a Dream
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 passenger seat
6 pence in her shoe, something borrowed,
something blue.
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 of the military band
and the flowers fell out of her hand
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 sayin 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'd 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.
Then the guns rang one last shout
and it felt like a bullet in her heart.
Baby, why did 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."
Ohh, baby why did 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...
