These fancy things in magazinesDiamond rings and beauty queensBut nothing seems to sparkle like you doThese fancy cigars and caviarExpensive cars and movie starsBut everything I need is in this roomOh, and I’ve seen the lights from New York to VegasAnd I’ve tasted wine from Venice to ParisAnd I’ve seen the sightsNothing comparin’ to youSo I ain’t looking over fences trying to find a better viewMy search for all that ended when I first laid eyes on youAnd the grass is always greener’Cause the sun shines when you smileAnd when I’m holding you the world makes senseOn my side of the fenceIf I ever win the lotteryIt wouldn’t mean a lot to me, ’cause I already got you to hold my handAnd if a genie gave me a million wishesI’d spend them all on all your kissesAnd save just one to stay right where I amSo I ain’t looking over fences trying to find a better viewMy search for all that ended when I first laid eyes on youAnd the grass is always greener’Cause the sun shines when you smileAnd when I’m holding you the world makes senseOn my side of the fenceYou’re the rain on the roof in the summerYou’re the leaves in the fall changing colorYou’re the whisper I hear in the thunderOn my side of the fenceYou’re the reason my heart’s beating fasterYou’re the tears falling down from the laughterYou’re the only one I’m afterSo I ain’t looking over fences trying to find a better viewMy search for all that ended when I first laid eyes on youAnd the grass is always greener’Cause the sun shines when you smileAnd when I’m holding you the world makes senseBaby, when I’m holding you the world makes senseOn my side of the fenceYou know it does, babyOn my side of the fence
