The Other Man's Grass
Is Always Greener
- Life is
never what it seems,
- we're always
searching in our dreams,
- to find
those little castles in the air!
- When worry
starts to cloud the mind,
- it's hard to
leave it all behind,
- an' just
pretend you haven't got a care!
-
- There's someone else in your
imagination,
- you wished that you were standin' in
their shoes
- you'd change your life without much
hesitation
- but would you if you really had to
choose?
-
- So, don't look around,
- get your feet on the ground,
- it's much better by far
- to be just who you are!
-
- The other man's grass is always
greener,
- the sun shines brighter on the other
side!
- The other man's grass is always
greener,
- some are lucky, some are not,
- just be thankful for what you've got!
-
- < instrumental break >
-
- Many times
it seems to me,
- there's
someone else I'd rather be,
- living in a
world of make-believe!
- To stay in
bed 'till nearly three
- with nothing
there to worry me
- would seem
to be the life I might achieve!
-
- But, deep inside I know I'm really
lucky,
- happiness I've never known before,
- just as long as you are there beside
me
- I know that I could ask for nothin'
more!
-
- And living can start,
- with the love in your heart!
- So, with you all the time,
- all the chances I've longed for are
mine!
-
- The other man's grass is always
greener,
- the sun shines brighter on the other
side!
- The other man's grass is always
greener,
- some are lucky, some are not,
- I'm so thankful for what I've got!

fade >
