The Moment I Knew

1. You should have been there
Should have burst through the door, with that
Baby I'm right here' smile, and it would
Have 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 and
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.

[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
And there's one thing missing
And that was the moment I knew.

2. And the hours pass by
And 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, as the
Sinking feeling starts
And I say hopelessly he said he'd be here.

[Bridge:]
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 have been here
And I would have been so happy.

[Coda:]
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.
