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 come 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.
Ooh, I knew , ooh
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
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.
