When You Thought I Wasn't Looking

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 favorite cake for me,

And I knew that little things are special things.

When you thought I wasn't looking,

I heard you say a prayer

And I believed there is a God I could always talk to.

When you thought I wasn't looking,

I felt you kiss me good-night

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 alright to cry.

When you thought I wasn't looking,

I saw that you cared

And I wanted to be everything that I could be.

When you thought I wasn't looking, I looked

And wanted to say thanks for all the things I saw

When you thought I wasn't looking.
