Just A Dream

I was thinking about you, thinking about me Thinking about us, what we gonna be? Open my eyes, yeah; it was only just a dream So I travel back, down that road Will we come back? No one knows I realize, yeah, it was only just a dream I was at the top and I was like I'm at the basement Number one spot and now she found her a replacement I swear now I can't take it Knowing somebody's got my baby And now you ain't around, baby I can't think Shoulda put it down, shoulda got that ring Cuz I can still feel it in the air See her pretty face run my fingers through her hair My lover, my life, my baby, my wife She left me, I'm tied Cause I knew that it just ain't right I was thinking about you, thinking about me Thinking about us, what we gonna be? Open my eyes, yeah; it was only just a dream So I travel back, down that road Will we come back? No one knows I realize, yeah, it was only just a dream When I be ridin man I swear I see her face at every turn Tryin to get my Usher over, I can let it burn And I just hope she notice She the only one I yearn for More and more I miss her, when will I learn? Didn't give her all my love I guess now I got my payback Now I'm in the club thinking all about my baby Hey, she was so easy to love But wait, I guess that love wasn't enough I'm going through it every time that I'm alone And now I'm missing, wishin she'd pick up the phone But she made a decision that she wanted to move on Cuz I was wrong And I was thinking about you, thinking about me Thinking about us, what we gonna be? Open my eyes, yeah; it was only just a dream So I travel back, down that road Will we come back? No one knows I realize, yeah, it was only just a dream If you ever loved somebody put your hands up If you ever loved somebody put your hands up And now they're gone And you wish you could give them everything I said, if you ever loved somebody put your hands up If you ever loved somebody put your hands up And now they're gone And you wish you could give them everything I was thinking about you, thinking about me Thinking about us, what we gonna be? Open my eyes, yeah; it was only just a dream So I travel back, down that road Will we come back? No one knows I realize, yeah, it was only just a dream And I was thinking about you, thinking about me Thinking about us, what we gonna be? Open my eyes, yeah; it was only just a dream So I travel back, down that road Will we come back? No one knows I realize, yeah, it was only just a dream

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 borrowed, 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 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 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 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 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 Baby, why'd you leave me? Why'd you have to go? I was counting on forever, now I'll never know Oh, 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
