The Grass is Always Greener

One of my favorite morning exercises is to sit on my exercise ball and bounce to music. I turn on the oldies station and flail around to the music. I am often surprised to hear the lyrics of the songs of my younger years and the wisdom imparted. This Petula Clark song is powerful. I always disregard the lover’s aspect of contemporary music and latch on to the deeper content.

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 otherside
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
I'm living in a world of make-believe
I'd stay in bed till nearly three with nothing there to worry me
It'd 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
And living can start with the love in your heart
So with you all the time, all
the treasures I long 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

Yes, 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

Don'tcha know it now?
