英语歌曲:Just A Dream

Song：Just A Dream

Artist：Carrie Underwood

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,
six pence in her shoe
something borrowed something blue
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 trumpets¹ 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 cant² even breathe
It's like I'm, looking from a distance, standing³ 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 herd⁴
then they handed her a folded up flag and
she held on to all she had left of him, oh and what could’ve been
and then 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
Oh, baby, why'd you leave me, why'd you have to go
I was counting on forever, now I'll never know
Ohh, i'll never know
This can't be happening to me
Everybody's saying, he's not coming home now,
This is just a dream
Oh, this is just a dream
just a dream, ya

 

自从8月出来这张里的首发新单曲《So Small》Carrie Underwood 发布了10月将出新专辑的信息, 网上便开始漫长的等待过程， 事实证明网上的很多人对于她的路线预测还是蛮准的 她果然更多地选择走了POP的路线,专辑中几乎呈现一首COUNTRY、一首POP的风格 但相对来说，还是POP占了更多的强劲风头.

正像介绍那样，虽然是乡村风格，但是Pop元素占的比较大，但是不得不承认，Just A Dream确实是一首很不错的歌。
