Underwood, Carrie - Just A Dream Lyrics
It was two weeks after the day she turned eighteen
All dressed in white
Going to the church that night
She had his box of letters in the passenger seat
Sixpence in a shoe, something borrowed, something blue
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
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
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."
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 have 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 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
Oh,
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 is just a dream
Just a dream
Yeah, yeah

Underwood, Carrie Just A Dream Comments
I'm not crying

Was it just a dream where she got a RING on her figure - you know last name do you get it
Wow, my blood froze when her dress turned black
Please tell me I'm not the only one of the younger generations who still listening to these songs
Love you
Speaks for my soul. 😢 Still miss you HjM
2020.. Army mom here
How the dirty politricks play with lives of people, doing whatever they want. Only the dead have seen the end of war.
I don't know if it's just me but Carrie can act! 💕

Jesus take the wheel I love you
I always cry when I listen to this song 😭😭😭💔💔

Ashley Stanton heh fellow 2020 person
Dang! Look at how young she was!! WOW! How time flies!
I can really relate to that video my brother died in border patrol trying to protect our country.
Never even saw it as a happy song when I watched the video as a kid. From the beginning I somehow knew he was dead.
Going into 2020 crying with Carrie. #Ipromise 😢💔
My world came crashing in the day my heart passed away this song still makes me want the life we were planning for, now those dreams are nothing but ashes of what should have been. When he passed away
along with him went my will to live. It's been 4 years now and everyday I still feel the loss that will never end
Saddly it's crushed me to the point of not daring to have a heart. While this is the saddest part of lost love
The worst part is being left with the memories of what should have been and wanting them yet knowing they can never be............
12/24/2016 trip to Delray Beach... if I knew it should have been a miracle last night with him 😩
This video is so sad!! But I love the song.
This should be a movie yo I felt it and I never been the this but I felt it holy faaaack
Don't mind me but why there are two different song's with the same name
Mama waited on her first love, her high school sweetheart to come home from Vietnam. They were engaged. He did but then he went to a bar with his buddies. On the way home they went off the bridge. She wore black to his funeral instead of white to their wedding.
Guys my best friend lilly peakers is moving to another house i so sad I gonna miss her
"Then they handed her a folded up flag and she held on to all she had left of him" this lyric hurts so much and is why I can never get behind or understand flag burning.
my uncle had military honors after he passed from dementia. they did his funeral the same way
God bless our troops
Beautiful right there
My social studies teacher had my class listen to this for a essay we were writing about what makes America great. People risking their lives for our country, and what people have to go through when they lose someone they love fighting for our country, that is what makes America great.
You remember Nelly on main street big brothers
Carrie is so beautiful
i LOVE this song
This song is so true for many. Bring our troops home!
Beautiful song. On behalf of every man, woman and child who has died for this country If you support Donald Trump YOU are the domestic enemy from within and YOU are a traitor to America are the AND her allies. Fortunately Democrats are the TRUE PATRIOTS. WE honor the fallen by standing by The Constitution. You trumpers out there, wake up grow up #ThisIsNOTadrill
2:23 This part always gets me. I’ve been watching this video for a decade now and this scene and how she sings those lyrics have always felt so powerful and I tear up every time i watch it.
October 1997- I will get back to this...geez.
This song is - Beautiful &Truhtfully saddening and some what heart warming at the sametime. I know
Wait so her dad is also dead bc dont the father walk her down the isle?
Amen to those who gave it all 🇺🇸🇺🇸 hooah!!
It’s been over 10 years and this song still gives me chills
😭😭😢😢
The love of my life & I had less than a year of married life. We both served in law enforcement. My love died suddenly while asleep. I wanted it to be a dream I could wake up from. We had so many things to do & places to see together. Those wonderful habits, sents, voice I will never experience again. Love never fades & it slowly kills you. I am slowly dying.
He loved her so much that he went to fight for her and he died for her.
3:05-3:24 is so very sad, and the saddest part of this video. The fact that every year lots of Americans get this sent to their wives, is so sad. Imagine those with children and are widowed then have to explain what happened to their children with their father heartbreaking, especially when u see Carrie just breaking down about to fall from grief and sadness, God Bless all those out there and that read this if this has ever happened to u Thank u for your a Service. 🇺🇸
Best song that she has.
When she says "what rules" at 0:10 I died 😭😭 she sounds so cuteeee
Go watch my video arnold guijarro
If this song doesn't make you cry you don't have a soul
The just the dream part always gets me cause when you’re facing something so traumatic it truly does feel like a dream
When the dress faded though😭😭
One of the best music videos ever 😭
Wow. This song/video just gave me goosebumps all over. ❤️
When she goes up to the casket I start crying my eyes out who else
I love and miss you Justin 💕❤️🌹😘
A salute to all the Military widows out there!!! You're just as much a soldier as anyone!!!!
I remember crying to this song in 2008 after my 18 yr old son was tragically killed in an auto accident. Now in 2019 im crying again for my 26 yr old son who was run down and killed by a driver high on morphine and fentanyl in 2018.....
Every time the dress turns black I cry
My cousin is in the national guard and this makes me cry because I think of loosening him 😭🤞🏾
what is this song about , plz help its for my essay
red lipstick needed
This song means even more on Veteran's Day. Thank you all for your service.
I remember being so young and balling my eyes out.....
W I am not sure how much I owe u to ko I have a few things to do and I will be there at work today so I won't be able to make it to the gat a few hours I will be there in the morning to you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers are doing 🙏🙏🙏♥️🙏♥️❤️🙏
