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 her 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 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 gun's 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 I think my family is highly dramatic. Just went to Hougang Mall, quite a good selection of books really. Found JQ's 'What Happens In London' there, and Cynthia Kadohata's 'Weedflower'. I'm so happy. But I wish I had a bit more money to buy her other book, I forgot it's name. But it sounds nice :/ Trying to pack my room, but I'm not meeting with much success. Too bad, Elaine and Iris are just going to have to put up with my horribly messy room 8D E-learning sounds horrible already. But Monday's relatively good. Probably trying to brace us for Tuesday and Wednesday. There has to be a motive. Let's hope it's a good one. |
