Taylor Swift – The Moment I Knew

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 come 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’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

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’s one thing missing, and that was the moment I knew

Ooh, I knew. Ooh..

You call me later, and say I’m sorry I didn’t make it.
And I say I’m sorry too, and that was the moment I knew.
