On The Other Side
Copyright 2019 Sentric Music Publishing/ BMI - Words and Music by Karl Sky

They just unpacked all the boxes
to get a feel for their new place
She popped the cork right off the bottle
to make a toast to their good taste
and as the final picture's hung just right
well, the newness starts to fade...
Cause the grass ain't always greener On The Other Side

Before too long he made a killing
His broker called him with the news
He rushed to tell his wife of forty
He found her crying, looking through...
Pictures of her sisters children grown
She asked, "when will my time come?"
Cause the grass is always greener On The Other Side

Between brand new cars and shopping
He offers her vacation fare
She turns her thoughts to deeper feelings
He doesn't realize what's there...
The velvet petals of a flower will wilt
We all need some love to shine
You know the grass ain't always greener On The Other Side

Their summer faded into autumn
Their "good friends" had come and went
All their life they'd been the envy
Up till now with no regrets...
and as they lowered her body into the ground
If he could only turn back time
But the grass is always greener On The Other Side
Ya the grass is always greener On The Other Side
