Lyrics

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!

≪ repeat chorus two more times to fade >
