The Moment I Knew Lyrics

You should've been here
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
That just aligned
And I would have 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 come back through my memory

How you said you'd be here
You said you'd be here...

Chorus :
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's 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 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"

Chorus :
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's 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

Chorus :
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's one thing missing
And that was the moment I knew

Ohhhh ohhhh
Ohhhh ohhhh
(The moment I knew)
Ohhhh ohhhh
Ohhhh ohhhh

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
