My Side of the Fence

These fancy things in magazines
Diamond rings and beauty queens
But nothing seems to sparkle like you do
These fine 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 lookin' over fences tryin' 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 holdin' 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 lookin' over fences tryin' 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
When I'm holdin' you, the world makes sense
On my side of the fence

You're the rain on a 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 beatin' faster
You're the tears, fallin' down from the laughter
You're the only one I'm after

So I ain't lookin' over fences tryin' 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 holdin' you, the world makes sense
Baby, when I'm holdin' you, the world makes sense
On my side of the fence

You know it does, baby
On my side of the fence
