Текст песни The Things I Notice Now - Tom Paxton

Rained again last night. Streets are slowly drying.
Sunlight's not too bright. I don't believe it's trying.
I never used to care. It wouldn't cross my mind.
You'd be surprised, the things I notice now.

The mailman's overdue. Man upstairs is typin'.
My neighbor's has the flu. And his wife has started gripin'.
I never used to care. It wouldn't cross my mind.
You'd be surprised, the things I notice now.

I'm sittin' in the window seat, just watchin' my day walk by.
There's a lot of people I should meet, if I could find a reason why.
There's a whole lot of things, I oughta get up and do,
Like finding you!

Mornin' streets are jammed. Taxi driver's swearin'.
I think his rage is shammed. He looks like he's past carin'.
I never used to care. It wouldn't cross my mind.
You'd be surprised, the things I notice now.

I'm going to get myself in line. I'm gonna get a hold on things.
I'm probably going to be just fine. We'll see what tomorrow brings.
There's a whole lot of things, I've gotta get up and do.
Like finding you!

Rained again last night. Streets are slowly drying.
Sunlight's not too bright. I don't believe it's trying.
I never used to care. It wouldn't cross my mind.
You'd be surprised, the things I notice now.
