my song book

the moment I knew by Taylor Swift

This song is a song I made for someone I miss dearly, it was something to help me get over his death. Taylor I'm Sorry.

You should have been here.

You 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 and 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 comb back through my memories, 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 was one thing missing,

And that was the moment I knew.

And the hours pass by,

Now I just want to 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 as 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 was one thing missing,

And that was the moment I knew

What do you say when you have tears running 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 was one thing missing,

And that was the moment I knew,

Oh I knew.

Oh.

I saw you later.

And said "I'm sorry I couldn't save you."

And you would've said "you don't need to."

And that was the moment I knew.
