The Moment I Knew Songtext
You should've been there, should've burst through that door with that "Baby, I'm right here" smile
And it would've felt like a million little shining stars had just aligned and I would've been so happy
Christmas lights glisten, I've got my eye on the door and just waiting for you to walk in
But the time is ticking, people ask me how I've been as I comb back through my memory
How you said you'd be here
You said you'd be here And it was like slow motion
Standing there in my party dress and red lipstick
With no one to impress
And they're all laughing as I'm looking around the room
But there was one thing missing
And that was the moment I knew And the hours pass by, now I just wanna be alone
But your close friends always seem to know when something's really wrong
So they follow me down the hall
And there in the bathroom, I try not to fall apart and the sinking feeling starts as I say hopelessly
He said he'd be here

And it was like slow motion
Standing there in my party dress and red lipstick
With no one to impress
And they're all laughing and asking me about you
There was one thing missing
And that was the moment I knew

What do you say when tears are streaming down your face
In front of everyone you know?
And what do you do when the one who means the most to you
Is the one who didn't show?

You should've been here
And I would've been so happy

And it was like slow motion
Standing there in my party dress and red lipstick
With no one to impress
And they're all sitting around me, singing
Happy birthday to you
But there was one thing missing
And that was the moment I knew
Oh, I knew
Oh

You called me later and said "I'm sorry I didn't make it"
And I said "I'm sorry too"
And that was the moment I knew
