[Verse 1]

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



[Chorus]

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



[Verse 2]

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



[Chorus]

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



[Bridge]

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



[Outro]

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
