Dolly Parton – If Teardrops Were Pennies lyrics

Wagon and Dolly Parton

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 be oh so wealthy with treasures untold
If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold.

The tears that have fallen won磘 buy you a thing
The heartaches you 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.

Repeat chorus

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