Carrie Underwood - Just a Dream Lyrics
Verse 1
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,
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
Chorus
Baby, why’d you leave me, why’d you have to go
I was counting on forever, now I’ll never know
I cant 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
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
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
Chorus
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
Ohh 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, ya [fading out]

My husband is currently deployed on his second tour to Iraq. This song really does express what my dreams do to me. I appreciate the words, and that other people wake up crying the way I do. You could never know how hard this is, and to look at the sweet faces of our children…it never gets easier. thank you for expressing our dreams…whoever wrote it!

My dad died and I really know what is like to lose someone but know they are going home to a better place. I was only nine when my dad passed away and I can’t get over it you know. But I really love the words in this song but I can’t listen to it without crying about my father. But Carrie knows what she’s doing and it shows!
