Carrie

This song gives me goosebumps and makes me bawl every time.

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

A six pence in her shoe

something borrowed, something blue

And when the church opened up wide

she put her veil down trying to hide the tears

oh she just couldn't believe it

She heard the 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's bow our heads and pray"

"Lord please lift his soul and heal this heart"

Then the congregation all stood up and sang

The saddest song that she'd 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

Then the guns rang out 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
