Lyrics

[Verse 1]
An acre of diamonds I'd offer 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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
But teardrops aren't pennies
And heartaches aren't gold
