Just A Dream (song)

Music Video[]

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 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

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 that 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
