The Moment I Knew

The Moment I Knew - Cover Pop

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'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 "

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

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 standing around me singing

"Happy birthday to you"

But there was one thing missing

And that was the moment I knew

Ooh

Ooh

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
