If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold

I'd have all the riches my pockets would hold

I'd be oh so wealthy with treasures untold

If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold



An acre of diamonds I'd offered to you

A solid gold mansion an airplane or two

This whole world would be yours to have and to hold

If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold

If teardrops were pennies...

[ piano ]

The tears that have fallen won't buy you a thing

The heartaches you've caused me won't pay for a ring

The love that I wanted would not have grown cold

If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold
