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 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
|
But just be thankful for what you've got
|
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 'til 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
|
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
|
|
Then living can start
|
With the love in your heart
|
So, with you all the time,
|
All the treasures 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
|
But I'm so thankful for what I've got
|
(repeat and fade out)
