The Other Man's Grass Is Always Greener 1967 Petula Clark

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 26 Sep 2002

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 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.

Many times it seems to me
there's someone else I'd rather be
living in a world of makebelieve.
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'd never known before,

Just as long as you are there beside me,
I knew 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'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,
just be thankful for what you've got.

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.
