IF TEARDROPS WERE PENNIES

WITH DOLLY PARTON

Writer Carl Butler

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 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 grown cold

If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold

If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold...

But teardrops aren't pennies and heartaches aren't gold
