When you thought I wasn’t looking,
I saw you hang my first painting on the refrigerator,
And I wanted to paint another one.
When you thought I wasn’t looking,
I saw you feed a stray cat,
And I thought it was good to be kind to animals.
When you thought I wasn’t looking,
I saw you make my favourite cake just for me,
And I knew that little things are special things.
When you thought I wasn’t looking,
I felt you kiss me goodnight,
And I felt loved.
When you thought I wasn’t looking,
I saw tears come from your eyes,
And I learned that sometimes things hurt,
But it’s all right to cry.
When you thought I wasn’t looking,
I saw you cared,
And I wanted to be everything that I could be.
When you thought I wasn’t looking, I looked…
And I wanted to say thanks for all the things I saw,
When you thought I wasn’t looking.
