Carrie Underwood - Just A Dream
Carrie Underwood Just A Dream video, “Just a Dream” is the fourth single released from Carrie Underwood’s second studio album, Carnival Ride. The song was composed by Gordie Sampson, Steven McEwan and Hillary Lindsey.
The song chronicles a young woman who is about to get married, only to discover that her husband-to-be (who is a soldier) has been killed in combat. Upon realizing that he is dead, she wishes that it were “just a dream” that her husband had been killed.
“Just a Dream” delivers the heartbreaking, storytelling side of Nashville with the kind of song usually reserved for vets like Reba McEntire or Martina McBride. Underwood convincingly sells the story of a young widow of a soldier killed in combat, using shades of her emotive vocal to convey anger and despair.

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 a shoe, something barrowed, 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 guards 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
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 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
Love,Kiah_Dee

this video and song is really touching.in my opinion, it’s the best song that underwood has ever released.
it could earn her a grammy for best female country vocal performance and it would be really well deserved.

Comment by Sarah Beth on 11 September 2008:
by far this song is the most amazing song ive heard in awhile. Carrie Underwood thouches my heart with this song.First time i ever heard it, i was driving to georgia to see my boyfriend who was returning home from iraq. It made me realize how blessed i was to have my Soldier back, and made me feel for those who have lost there loved ones. Her song will touch many lives, and its a blessing God gave her the talent she has, and its wonderful how she uses it. Everyday you hear on tv how we lost more soldiers, and now it seems the news just says it, but those are our boys who risk their lives everday, and maybe since Carrie has put a song out that is realistic, ppl will seem to care more. I pray for the soldiers everday, even though my soldier is home, my brother is still there…and so many more…
Thank you Carrie for this song…
