The Other Man's Grass Is Always Greener
Petula Clark

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)
