If Teardrops Were Pennies

If Teardrops Were Pennies (and Heartaches Were Gold)
written by - let me know! performed by Carl Smith, Porter Wagoner and Dolly Parton and others

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

(chorus)
If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold
I'd have all the riches my pockets would hold
I'd feel oh so wealthy with treasures untold
If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold

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 gold
If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold

(chorus)
