Just A Dream
It was two weeks after the day she turned fifteen
All dressed in white, going to the church that night
She had his box of letters in the passenger seat
Sixpence 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 hand
[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

The preacher man said, “Let us bow our heads and pray: Lord, please lift his soul and heal this hurt”
And then the congregation all stood up and sang
The saddest song she ever heard
And 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 the guns rang one last shot
And it felt like a bullet in her heart

Baby why’d you leave me why’d you to go
I was counting on forever now I’ll never know
I can’t breathe
Its 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
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 just a dream
Just a dream
