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 letter sitting the passenger seat, six pins in her shoe
somthing borrowed somthing 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 laying in her hands
Baby, why'd you have to 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
The preacher man said lets bow our head and pray
lord pleas lift his soul and heal this hurt
then the congregation all stood up and sang the sadest song
that she ever heard then they handed her a folded up flag and she held on to all she had left of him 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 have to leave me, why'd you have to go
I was counting on forever, now I'll never know
oohh ill 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]
