It was two weeks after the day she turned 18all dressed in white, going to the church that nightShe had his box of letters in the passenger seat,six pins and his shoesomething borrowed something blue and when the church doors opened up wideshe put her veil down trying to hide the tears ohshe just couldn't believe itshe heard the trumpets from the military band and the flowers out of her handsBaby, why'd you have to leave me, why'd you have to goI was counting on forever, now I'll never knowI can't even breatheIt's like I'm, looking from a distance, standing in the backgroundEverybody's saying, he's not coming home now,This can't be happening to meThis is just a dreamThe preacher man said let us bow our head and prayLord please lift his soul and heal this hurtthen the congregation all stood up and sang the saddest songthat she ever heard then they handed her a folded up flag and she held on to allshe had left of him oo and what could'vebeen 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 goI was counting on forever, now I'll never knowoohh ill never knowI cant even breatheIt's like I'm, looking from a distance, standing in the backgroundEverybody's saying, he's not coming home now,This can't be happening to meThis is just a dreamrepeat chorus x2Oh this is just a dreamjust a dream, (ya) [fading out]
