"That's When I Knew" lyrics - REBA MCENTIRE
It wasn't when you walked out, wasn't when you said goodbye
It wasn't when I sat down and had myself a real good cry
It wasn't when I tore your picture from the flame
Threw it in the fire and sent it up in flames
I still felt the same
[Chorus 1:]
But then tonight, I met someone
We went out, and we had fun
He made me laugh, we danced all night
And I didn't see your face when I was lookin' in his eyes
That's when I knew
I was over you
I was staying busy, tryna keep you off my mind
Baby but your memory, it put up a real good fight
Oh I went out with friends to have a drink or two
They tried to cheer me up, there was nothin' they could do
I was missin' you
[Chorus 2:]
But then tonight, there with him
If felt so good to feel good again
He took my hand and I did my line
And I didn't try to stop him when he kissed me goodnight
That's when I knew
[Bridge:]
I was over crying in my pillow, praying that you'd come home
Waiting for the phone to ring
Wondering where it went wrong, wishing I could move on
So I'd never feel this way
I thought I'd never see this day
[Chorus 1]
