She can't see me
Oh no, no she can't know
Just where I'll be
See the sun kiss her skin as I sit up in this tree
And we will watch her all day long, my telescope and me
Chorus
Mr. Galileo, thank you for what you've done
Without you Galileo, it wouldn't be much fun
I can see her, deep in the night
See her shape on the blind, against the light
And I look in her room as she moves restlessly
And we will watch her all night long, my telescope and me
Chorus repeat
I can watch her, everyday
Every time I can hide, so far away
Though I know I love her, don't think she would love me
And we will watch her all day long, my telescope and me
Chorus repeat, repeat again, third repeat
