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

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

[Sax]

The teardrops that have fallen won't buy you a thing
The heartaches you've caused me won't pay for a ring
The love that we wanted would not have grown cold
If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold

[Guitar]

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
