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 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 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


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, this is just a dream
Just a dream
Yeah, Yeah
