The Other Man`s Grass Is Always Greener — текст песни (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)
