When you thought I wasn’t looking，you hung my first painting on the refrigerator， and I wanted to paint another.

When you thought I wasn’t looking， you fed a stray cat， and I thought it was good to be kind to animals.

When you thought I wasn’t looking，you baked a birthday cake just for me， and I knew that little things were special things.

When you thought I wasn’t looking， you kissed 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 that it’s all right to cry.

When you thought I wasn’t looking，you smiled，and it made me want to look that pretty， too.

When you thought I wasn’t looking—I looked…and wanted to say thanks for all those things you did when you thought I wasn’t looking.

你以為你把我畫的第一幅畫掛在冰箱上時，我沒有看在眼里。其實我還記在心里，還想再畫。

你以為你喂一只迷路的貓時，我沒有看在眼里。其實我還記在心里，知道了要善待動物。

你以為你專為我烤了一個生日蛋糕，我沒有看在眼里。其實我還記在心里，明白點點滴滴都特殊無比。

你以為你親吻我，跟我道晚安，我沒有看在眼里。其實我還記在心里，感到你有多么愛我。

你以為當(dāng)你眼淚奪眶而出時，我沒有看在眼里。其實我還記在心里，懂得了有時會有令人傷心的事——但是完全可以哭出來。

你以為當(dāng)你微笑時，我沒有看在眼里。其實我還記在心里，希望我也那么美麗。

你以為我沒有看在眼里——其實我都看到了……我要說聲謝謝，對你以為我沒有看到而默默做的一切。
