Just A Dream
¿­Àò¡¤°²µÂÎéµÂCarrie Underwood Lyrics

It was two weeks after the day she turned eighteen
It was a mere two weeks after her eighteenth birthday

All dressed in white, going to the church that night
She was wearing a white outfit, heading to the church

She had his box of letters in the passenger seat
She had her lover's box of letters beside her on the passenger seat

Sixpence in her shoe
She had a sixpence in her shoe for good luck

Something borrowed, something blue
She was wearing something borrowed and something blue as per superstition

And when the church doors opened up wide
When the church doors opened for her arrival

She put her veil down trying to hide the tears
She lowered her veil to keep her emotions hidden

Oh she just couldn't believe it
She was in a state of disbelief

She heard the trumpets from the military band
She could hear the military band playing their trumpets

And the flowers fell out of her hands
She had a difficult time holding onto her flowers

Baby, why'd you leave me, why'd you have to go
She is speaking to her lost lover, questioning his departure

I was counting on forever, now I'll never know
She was hoping for a lifetime together, but now she's unsure of anything

I can't even breathe
She's finding it difficult to breathe in light of the news

It's like I'm looking from a distance,
It feels like she's watching everything from far away

Standing in the background
She feels like she's just observing everything from the sidelines

Everybody's saying, he's not coming home now,
Everyone around her is telling her that he's not coming back

This can't be happening to me
She's struggling to accept the reality of the situation

This is just a dream
She wishes it was all just a nightmare

The preacher man said let us bow our heads and pray
The preacher told everyone to bow their heads and pray

Lord please lift his soul and heal this hurt
The prayer was for the Lord to lift her lover's soul and ease her pain

Then the congregation all stood up
After the prayer, everyone stood up

And sang the saddest song that she ever heard
They all sang a sorrowful song that touched her heart deeply

Then they handed her a folded up flag
At the end of the ceremony, she was handed a folded flag

And she held on to all she had left of him
All she could do was hold onto memories of him

Oh, and what could've been
She can't help but ponder what could have been if he was still with her

And then guns rang one last shot
The sound of guns firing one last shot filled the air

And it felt like a bullet in her heart
He wasn't coming home; the pain felt like a gunshot to her heart

Oh I'll never know
She accepts that she will never have answers to her unanswered questions

Oh, this is just a dream
Reiterating that this is all just a bad dream

Just a dream
Closing with one final reminder that this is all just a dream
