These fancy things in magazines Diamond rings and beauty queens But nothing seems to sparkle like you do These fancy cigars and caviar Expensive cars and movie stars But everything I need is in this room Oh, and I've seen the lights from New York to Vegas And I've tasted wine from Venice to Paris And I've seen the sights Nothing comparin' to you So I ain't looking over fences trying to find a better view My search for all that ended when I first laid eyes on you And the grass is always greener 'Cause the sun shines when you smile And when I'm holding you the world makes sense On my side of the fence If I ever win the lottery It wouldn't mean a lot to me, 'cause I already got you to hold my hand And if a genie gave me a million wishes I'd spend them all on all your kisses And save just one to stay right where I am So I ain't looking over fences trying to find a better view My search for all that ended when I first laid eyes on you And the grass is always greener 'Cause the sun shines when you smile And when I'm holding you the world makes sense On my side of the fence You're the rain on the roof in the summer You're the leaves in the fall changing color You're the whisper I hear in the thunder On my side of the fence You're the reason my heart's beating faster You're the tears falling down from the laughter You're the only one I'm after So I ain't looking over fences trying to find a better view My search for all that ended when I first laid eyes on you And the grass is always greener 'Cause the sun shines when you smile And when I'm holding you the world makes sense Baby, when I'm holding you the world makes sense On my side of the fence You know it does, baby On my side of the fence
