If Teardrops Were Pennies

If Teardrops Were Pennies - Carl Smith

Written by：Carl Butler

If teardrops were pennies

And heartaches were gold

I'd have all the riches

My pockets would hold

I'd feel oh so wealthy

Be with treasures untold

If teardrops were pennies

And heartaches were gold

An acre of diamonds

I'd offered 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

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

I'd have all the treasure

My pockets would hold

I'd be oh so wealthy

With treasures untold

If teardrops were pennies

And heartaches were gold
