It was two weeks after the day she turned eighteen All dressed in white Going to the church that night She had his 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 couldn't believe it She heard trumpets from the military band And the flowers that I never had
Baby why'd you leave me Why'd you have to go? I was counting on now I'll never know I 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 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 left of him Oh, and what could have been And then the guards rang one last shot And it felt like a bullet in her heart
Baby why'd you 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 coming home now This can't be happening to me This is just a dream
Oh, Baby why'd you leave me Why'd you have to go? I was counting on forever, now I'll never know Oh, now I'll never know It's like I'm looking from distance Standing in the background Everybody's saying, he's not coming home now This can't happening to me This is just a dream
