The Moment I Knew

[Verse 1]

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 all aligned

And I would've been so happy

[Verse 2]

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

And 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

[Verse 3]

And the hours pass by

Now I just wanna be alone

But your friends always seem to know

When there's something 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"

[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

And asking me about you

There's one thing missing

And that was the moment I knew

[Outro]

Ooh-oh-oh, oh, moment I knew

Ooh-oh-oh, oh

Oh, it's my party and I'll cry if I want to

Cry if I want to, cry if I want to

It's my party and I'll cry if I want to

It's my party and I'll cry if I want to

Cry if I want to, cry if I want to

It's my party and I'll cry if I want to

And I would've been so happy

I'll cry if I want to, ooh
