- Just A Dream LyricsSongwriters: Lindsey, Hillary; Mcewan, Steve; Sampson, Gordie;
It was two weeks after the day she turned 18
All dressed in white, goin to the church that night
She had his box of letters in the passenger seat
Sixpence in her shoe, somethin borrowed, somethin blue
And when the church doors opened up wide
She put her veil down, tryin to hide the tears
Oh, she just couldnt believe it
She heard the trumpets from the military band
And the flowers fell out of her hands
Baby, why'd you leave me? Why'd you have to go?
I was countin on forever, now I'll never know
I can't even breathe
It's like I'm lookin from a distance, standin in the background
Everybody's sayin, he's not comin home now
This can't be happenin? 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
And then they handed her a folded up flag
And she held on to all she had left of him
Oh, well, what could've 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 countin? on forever, now I'll never know
I can't even breathe
It's like I'm lookin from a distance, standin in the background
Everybody's sayin, he's not comin home now
This can't be happenin to me, this is just a dream
Ooh, baby, why'd you leave me? Why'd you have to go?
I was countin on forever, now I'll never know
Oh, I'll never know
It's like I'm lookin from a distance, standin in the background
Everybody's sayin, he's not comin home now
This can't be happenin to me, this is just a dream
Oh, this is just a dream
It's just a dream, yeah, yeah

✔️
When we consider what the writer meant by those haunting lines, Carrie Underwood's 'Just a Dream' is an emotional roller coaster that depicts the sad fate of a young girl whose life partner dies fighting for the country. The song is packed with vivid descriptions of the young girl's agony, disbelief, and dreaming about the future that never came, and it sometimes compares the whole situation to being a dream and seeing it from afar to show the sense of loss and strangeness of the situation. The lyrical content of Just a Dream virtually only dwells on heartbreak, despair, love, reflection, and angst. Besides, the song also magnifies the power of loss and mourning, unfulfilled dreams, and heartbreak. Respective of the lyrics, there are loss, and grieving themes, which are probably not appropriate for very young ones. Even though there is no blunt talk or graphic scenes, the heaviness of the subject matter points out that it is better for the children to be accompanied by parents while listening to the song.

This song does not apply to her. Maybe it's just about her friend or family member or just someone she knows. If y'all know this about Carrie Underwood she's only been married one time. And the man she married did not die in the military or at all really but this song makes me cry every time I listen to this it so sad but she sings epic. It reminds me of my dead step dad who died in the military. But this song is still really good.

This song means alot to me cause my pawpaw died almost one year ago... He was in the army and I really miss him. Every time I hear this song I cry because, I didn't know how close I was to him until I found him dead on his livingroom floor... I pray everyday that I will never have to go through that again...
