The Moment I Knew (Taylor's Version)
[00:00.00] ♪
[00:14.91] You should've been there
[00:16.90] Should've burst through the door
[00:18.67] With that "Baby, I'm right here" smile
[00:21.84] And it would've felt like
[00:24.65] A million little shining stars that just align
[00:29.08] And I would've been so happy
[00:32.56] *
[00:37.35] Christmas lights glisten
[00:39.37] I've got my eye on the door
[00:41.77] Just waitin' for you to walk in
[00:44.56] But the time is tickin'
[00:47.35] People ask me how I've been
[00:49.21] As I comb back through my memory
[00:52.31] How you said you'd be here
[00:57.09] *
[01:00.65] You said you'd be here
[01:05.60] *
[01:06.66] And it was like slow motion
[01:11.29] *
[01:11.83] Standing there in my party dress
[01:14.93] In red lipstick
[01:18.66] *
[01:19.98] With no one to impress
[01:22.64] And they're all laughin'
[01:27.01] *
[01:27.54] As I'm lookin' around the room
[01:29.82] But there was one thing missin'
[01:34.74] *
[01:35.27] And that was the moment I knew
[01:38.28] *
[01:53.43] And the hours pass by
[01:55.75] Now I just wanna be alone
[01:57.61] But your close friends always seem to know
[02:00.57] When there's somethin' really wrong
[02:03.58] So they follow me down the hall
[02:06.23] *
[02:08.36] And there in the bathroom
[02:11.01] I try not to fall apart
[02:12.89] And the sinking feelin' starts
[02:14.88] As I say hopelessly
[02:16.50] "He said he'd be here"
[02:20.96] *
[02:22.82] And it was like slow motion
[02:27.60] *
[02:28.14] Standing there in my party dress
[02:30.84] In red lipstick
[02:35.37] *
[02:36.18] With no one to impress
[02:38.60] And they're all laughin'
[02:42.85] *
[02:43.86] And asking me about you
[02:46.33] But there was one thing missin'
[02:49.29] *
[02:51.15] And that was the moment I knew
[02:54.63] *
[02:55.15] What do you say
[02:56.84] When tears are streaming down your face
[02:58.75] In front of everyone you know?
[03:02.76] And what do you do
[03:04.36] When the one who means the most to you
[03:07.07] Is the one who didn't show?
[03:10.45] *
[03:17.61] You should've been here
[03:19.39] *
[03:23.63] And I would've been so happy
[03:27.73] *
[03:31.21] And it was like slow motion
[03:36.23] *
[03:36.76] Standing there in my party dress
[03:39.63] In red lipstick
[03:43.34] *
[03:44.68] With no one to impress
[03:47.47] And they're all standin' around me, singin'
[03:51.88] *
[03:52.41] "Happy birthday to you"
[03:54.67] But there was one thing missin'
[03:58.43] *
[04:00.04] And that was the moment I knew
[04:03.24] *
[04:03.78] (Oh) Oh, I knew
[04:11.42] (Oh)
[04:17.30] *
[04:18.10] You called me later
[04:20.43] And said, "I'm sorry I didn't make it"
[04:22.82] And I said, "I'm sorry too"
[04:25.06] *
[04:25.86] And that was the moment I knew
[04:28.89] *
