The Moment I Knew Lyrics - Taylor Swift

1 You should have been there

2 Should have burst through the door

3 With that "Baby, I'm right here." smile

4 And it would've felt like

5 A million little shining stars had just aligned

6 And I would've been so happy

7 Christmas lights glisten

8 I've got my eye on the door

9 Just waiting for you to walk in

10 But the time is ticking

11 People ask me how I've been

12 As I comb back through my memory

13 How you said you'd be here

14 You said you'd be here

15 And it was like slow motion

16 Standing there in my party dress

17 In red lipstick

18 With no one to impress

19 And they're all laughing

20 As I'm looking around the room

21 But there's one thing missing

22 And that was the moment I knew

23 And the hours pass by

24 Now I just wanna be alone

25 But your close friends always seem to know

26 When there's something really wrong

27 So they follow me down the hall

28 And there in the bathroom

29 I try not to fall apart

30 And the sinking feeling starts

31 As I say hopelessly

32 "He said he'd be here."

33 And it was like slow motion

34 Standing there in my party dress

35 In red lipstick

36 With no one to impress

37 And they're all laughing

38 And asking me about you

39 But there's one thing missing

40 And that was the moment I knew

41 What do you say

42 When ears are streaming down your face

43 In front of everyone you know?

44 And what do you do

45 When the one who means the most to you

46 Is the one who didn't show?

47 You should have been here

48 And I would've been so happy

49 And it was like slow motion

50 Standing there in my party dress

51 In red lipstick

52 With no one to impress

53 And they're all standing around me singing

54 "Happy birthday to you."

55 But there's one thing missing

56 And that was the moment I knew

57 Ooh, I knew.

58 You call me later

59 And say "I'm sorry I didn't make it."

60 And I say "I'm sorry, too."

61 And that was the moment I knew
