The Moment I Knew
You should have been there, should have burst through the door, with that
baby Im 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, Ive got my eye on the door, just waiting for you
To walk in, but the time is ticking and
People ask me how Ive been, as I comb back through my memory.
How you said youd be here, you said youd be here.
And it was like slow motion, standing there in my party dress, in red
Lipstick, with no-one to impress, and theyre
All laughing as Im looking around the room, and theres one thing missing
And that was the moment I knew.
And the hours pass by, and I just want to be alone, but your close friends
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 hed be here.
And it was like slow motion, standing there in my party dress, in red
Lipstick, with no-one to impress, and theyre
All laughing and asking me all about you but theres 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
Didnt show?
You should have been here, and I would have been so happy.
And it was like slow motion, standing there in my party dress, in red
Lipstick, with no-one to impress, and theyre
All sitting around me singing Happy Birthday To You and theres one thing
Missing
and that was the moment I knew.
You called me later and said Im sorry I didnt make it, and I said, Im
Sorry too.
And that was the moment I knew.
