The Other Man's Grass is Always Greener

Life is never what it seems, we're always searching in our dreams
To find that little castle in the air
When worry starts to cloud the mind, it's hard to leave it all behind
And just pretend you haven't got a care
There's someone else in your imagination
You wish that you were standing 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 your 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

Many times it seems to me there's someone else I'd rather be
I'm living in a world of make-believe
I'd stay in bed till nearly three with nothing there to worry me
It'd seem to be the life I might achieve
But deep inside I know I'm really lucky
With happiness I've never known before
And just as long as you are there beside me
I know that I could ask for nothing more
And living can start with the love in your heart
So with you all the time, all the treasures I long 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
	But I'm so thankful for what I've got

	Yes, 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
	But I'm so thankful for what I've got

Don'tcha know it now?
