Tom Paxton - The Things I Notice Now lyrics

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 neighbour'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 tryin' I never used to care It wouldn't cross my mind You'd be surprised, the things I notice now
