The Moment I Knew

Intro: You should've been there, Should've burst through the 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 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 In 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 -once And that was the moment I knew And the hours pass by, Now I just want to be alone, But your close friends always seem to know When there's something 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 In red lipstick With no-one to impress And they're all laughing And asking me about you But 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 -once 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 In 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, ohh, ohh, ohh, I knew Oh, ohh, ohh, ohh, 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
