10.16.22 When You Thought I Wasn’t Looking (2nd Generation)

When you thought I wasn’t looking

You were in the stands cheering my name

And I believed in myself.

When you thought I wasn’t looking

You taught a classroom full of children

And it made me want to learn.

When you thought I wasn’t looking

You gazed up at the stars in wonder

And I found love for the little things.

When you thought I wasn’t looking

Life’s passion sparkled in your eyes

And I wanted to be just like you.

When you thought I wasn’t looking

You sang so beautifully, rocking me to sleep

And I learned “whatever will be will be.”

When you thought I wasn’t looking

You had “something really important” to tell me

And I realized that you can light up someone’s life

With three simple words.

When you thought I wasn’t looking

I saw the weight you carried, every day with a smile

And it made me want to be strong too.

When you thought I wasn’t looking

You followed your heart

And I knew that dreams do come true.

When you thought I wasn’t looking

I looked

And I wanted to say I love you

For all the things you did

When you thought I wasn’t looking
