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
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

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."
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

  45. E.... P....

    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............

  46. S.... D....

    12/24/2016 trip to Delray Beach... if I knew it should have been a miracle last night with him 😩

    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.

  51. H.... M....

    Guys my best friend lilly peakers is moving to another house i so sad I gonna miss her

  52. A.... R....

    "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.

    A.... R....

    my uncle had military honors after he passed from dementia. they did his funeral the same way

  53. C.... M....

    God bless our troops

  54. D.... L....

    Beautiful right there

  55. C.... ....

    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.

  56. w.... w....

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

  61. m.... ....

    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.

  62. L.... H....

  66. S.... S....

    😭😭😢😢

  67. J.... D....

    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.

  68. A.... E....

    He loved her so much that he went to fight for her and he died for her.

  69. C.... W....

    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. 🇺🇸

  70. Q.... ....

    Best song that she has.

  71. �.... �....

    Ok so the best order to listen to her songs is below. It starts with her mom with all American girl then goes through her childhood. Then she finds her first love. After losing him she goes into depression. She then goes out one night and meets a guy at the bar. Then they get married and he cheats. After 2black cadillacs she struggles again and finds God. After finding God she is able to find another Love which she didn't even know she wanted.
    All American girl
    Dont forget to remember me
    Little toy guns
    Temporary home
    Jesus take the wheel
    See you again
    Blown away
    Renegade runaway
    So small
    Mamas song
    Inside your heaven
    Church bells
    Just a drean
    That song we used to make love to
    Cry pretty
    Low
    Drinking alone
    Cowboy casanova
    Last name
    Mexico
    Spinning bottles
    Good girl
    Chaser
    Wasted
    Dirty laundry
    Undo it
    Before he cheats
    2 black cadillacs
    Smoke break
    Relapse
    Backsliding
    Champion
    Love wins
    Something in the water
    How great thou art
    Cupids got a shotgun
    What I never knew I wanted
    End up with you
    Heartbeat
    Clock dont stop
    Kingdom
