"If Teardrops Were Pennies" Lyrics

(Carl Butler)

An acre of diamonds I'd offered to you
A solid gold mansion an airplane or two
This world would be yours dear to have and to hold
If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold.

If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold
I'd have all the treasures my pockets could hold
I'd be oh so wealthy with treasures untold
If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold.

--- Instrumental ---

The tears that you've caused me won't buy you one thing
The heartaches you've brought me won't pay for a ring
The love that I wanted might not have grown cold
If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold...
