Through the eyes of another

Once in a while you meet somebody new
That changes the way you see your own smile
I met a friend in a bar we had a pint or two
He told where he was from and where he'd been to
We swapped our history, his seemed more in tune
I was captivated by, the story of his life
There's always something that you want that you haven't already got
When you hear some thing new you always want one too
But ain't it funny how your own life
Looks better through the eyes of another
Ain't it funny how your own life
Looks better through the eyes of another
He said he'd never met his mother
Or shaken his fathers hand
Adopted out at birth, a stranger to that man
This all seemed pretty normal just as my life is to me
Someone else's life is always more interesting
