The Moment I Knew

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 just aligned,

And I would've been so happy.

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 as I comb back through my memory,

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's one thing missing,

And that was the moment I knew.

And the hours pass by,

Now I just wanna 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, 

And 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's 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 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's one thing missing,

And that was the moment I knew.

You call me later,

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

And I say I'm sorry too,

And that was the moment I knew.

Seriously I haven't come across anyone that makes me feel this way like this song  could relate. But it is just too beautiful not to share. The more I get to loop Red, the more I am falling in love with Taylor. I got my Red Deluxe version on Target. with extra 6 tracks on it. State Of Grace amazed me the most. What an amazing album. That is my verdict. 3 and a half stars out of 4 on my scale! I'm not sure that does Malaysia has the deluxe which is only at Target in the States at the moment. But I would really reckon you guys to get the deluxe! She really show case what she really does best. She really shows that you don't need a big voice to really get a hit. All she needs is the honesty in her music. Definitely a must get in 2012.
