[Intro] Shhh… the lights go out. The park falls asleep. Nobody's watching. [Verse 1] They've been sitting on the bench since the break of dawn When the park light flickers on, they pretend to look away He knows she is the one, she's been waiting all these years He hums along the roses when there's nobody to hear One day he'll talk to her, one day he'll get his chance But for now the park is sleeping and he stays — just one more glance [Prechorus 1] When nobody's watching, nobody's watching The story comes alive (the story comes alive) When nobody's watching, nobody's watching Everything inside (everything inside) [Chorus 1] Nobody's watching The story's alive Nobody's watching Everything inside watch-ing at all watch-ing at all The moon-light past the park wall Every one feels small [Verse 2] Her name is Jessie and she carries a tiny pen She's drawing the whole world again and again and again The picture's nearly done, the passers-by never knew That the girl on the bench saw everything they ever do The dogs, the tulips, the young man's quiet regrets Jessie draws all of it — Jessie never forgets [Prechorus 2] When nobody's watching, nobody's watching The story comes alive (the story comes alive) When nobody's watching, nobody's watching Everything inside (everything inside) [Chorus 2] Nobody's watching The story's alive Nobody's watching Everything inside watch-ing at all watch-ing at all The moon-light past the park wall Every one feels small [Verse 3] She glances at him softly every evening after walking Perfectly still, perfectly lost, both of them too scared for talking She dreams of sitting closer, just to feel him near A cuddle, maybe — just a cuddle — she's been wanting it for years She slides along the bench so slow, she calls him with a look The young man finally notices — and he stays, like in a book [Prechorus 3] When nobody's watching, nobody's watching They get close a little more (close a little more) When nobody's watching, nobody's watching Just a little more (just a little more) [Chorus 3] Nobody's watching The story's alive Nobody's watching Everything inside watch-ing at all watch-ing at all The moon-light past the park wall Every one feels small [Bridge] They give and give and give all day They never ask for anything But when the rain comes down He lifts his umbrella And she steps underneath And that one moment That one quiet moment Is everything [Final Chorus] Nobody's watching The story's alive Nobody's watching Everything inside watch-ing at all watch-ing at all The moon-light past the park wall Every one feels small [Outro — chopped, fading slowly] Loving on their own Loving not alone The story had a life A life all on its own When nobody's watching… When nobody's watching… Shhh…
