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 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 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 Solo 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 riches my pockets would hold I'd be, oh, so wealthy with treasures untold If teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold But teardrops aren't pennies And heartaches aren't gold

If teardrops were diamonds And only mine were used They could pave every highway Coast to coast And not be close to through If teardrops were diamonds Cold blue If heartaches were rubies Stacked up just like stones There would be a mountain Ten miles high Built by mine alone If heartaches were rubies Mine alone You might begin to understand The price that love has to pay For being wrong Solo If sad thoughts were emeralds And with not counting In between Just half the ones I've had today Could turn The whole world green If sad thoughts were emeralds And the world turned green You might just Get the message that There's more to loneliness Than can be seen If teardrops were diamonds And only mine were used...

(Michael Henderson/Mark Irwin) If the jukebox took teardrops And the whiskey was free If that ol' car in the parking lot Drove home automatically If every night 'neath the honky tonk lights Didn't start those memories Wouldn't it be a wonderful world For somebody just like me How long can a girl keep goin' Like every day's the last I've paid off the rent and the government Maybe I could pay off the past If the jukebox took teardrops And the whiskey was free If that ol' car in the parking lot Drove home automatically If every night 'neath the honky tonk lights Didn't start those memories Wouldn't it be a wonderful world For somebody just like me Wouldn't I be on easy street Livin' this life of mine I could keep right on till the hurt's all gone And it wouldn't cost me a dime If the jukebox took teardrops And the whiskey was free If that ol' car in the parking lot Drove home automatically If every night 'neath the honky tonk lights Didn't start those memories Wouldn't it be a wonderful world For somebody just like me If the jukebox took teardrops And the whiskey was free

If you were mine I could be a ruler of kings And if you were mine I could do such wonderful things I'd say to the stars Stop where you are Light up my lover's way And every star above you would obey, say If you were mine I would live for your love alone To kneel at your shrine I would give up all that I own Yes, even my heart Even my life I'd trade it all for you And think I was lucky too If you were mine

So break out the bottle bring on the crowd Just gather round me 'cause misery loves a company I've just left my home friends where I couldn't sleep For missin' a woman that I couldn't keep She just walked out and left me for somebody else Now her memory keeps hauntin' me when I'm by myself So break out the bottle bring on the crowd Tell funny stories turn the jukebox up loud Come on sit at my table where the drinks are on me Just gather round me 'cause misery loves company Now I'm not the first one who's lost everything To a false hearted woman with a false hearted dream But this is the first time I've suffered myself Help me get over this love I'll handle the next love all by myself So break out the bottle bring on the crowd Tell funny stories turn the jukebox up loud Come on sit at my table where the drinks are on me Just gather round me 'cause misery loves company

Take my hand and run with me Out of the past called yesterday Walk with me into the future of tomorrow Yesterday must be forgot No looking back, no matter what There's nothing there but memories that bring sorrow Yesterday is gone But tomorrow is forever No more crying, tears leave tracks Memories find their way back Tomorrow's waiting, let's journey there together Yesterday is gone But tomorrow is forever I care not for yesterday I love you as you are today And yesterday just helped to pass the time while waiting We must forget, we will in time My love for you is the real kind The kind that won't hurt you, no, never Yesterday is gone But tomorrow is forever Yesterday is gone But tomorrow is forever

How many ti-imes ha-ave you heard someone say If I had his money I would do things my way But little they know That it's so hard to find One rich man in te-en With a satisfied mi-ind Once I was wading in fortune and fame Everything that I've dreamed for to get a start in li-ife's game But suddenly it ha-appened I lost every dime But I'm richer by far-ar With a satisfied mi-ind Money can't buy-uy back your youth when you're old Or a friend when you're lonely or a love that's grown co-old The wealthiest person Is a pauper at times Compared to the ma-an With a satisfied mi-ind When li-ife has ended and my time has run out My friends and my loved ones, I'll leave there's no doubt But there's one thing for cer-ertain When it comes my time I'll leave this old wor-orld With a satisfied mi-ind

Life has dealt us our fair share of pain along the way And many dreams have withered on the vine But dreams are all such fleeting things and happiness is now We'll just live our lives one day at a time In all the stormy weather love has always seen us through Happiness is knowing that you're mine Why worry about tomorrow for tomorrow may not come We'll just live our lives one day at a time Just one thing I'm learning you take life as it comes Each day is just a gift so don't be blind Tomorrow may bring gladness or a little bit of sadness We'll just live our lives one day at a time We may not have a fortune making plans to change the world We may leave little marks in life's design But as long as we're together every hour is filled with love And we'll just live our lives one day at a time Just one thing I'm learning you take life as it comes Each day is just a gift so don't be blind Tomorrow may bring gladness or a little bit of sadness We'll just live our lives one day at a time We'll just live our lives one day at a time

In a buildin' tall with a stone wall around there's a rubber room When a man sees things and hears sounds that's not there He's headed for the rubber room Illusions in a twisted mind to save from self-destruction hmm it's the rubber room Where a man can run into the wall till his strenght makes him fall and lie still And wait for help in the rubber room From his blurry vision of doom a psycho in the rubber room The man in the room right next to mine screams a woman's name hits the wall in vain He's in the rubber room I hear footsteps poundin' on the floor God I hope they don't stop at my door Hmm I'm in the rubber room Now they've come to get me but they find I'm a screamin' pretty words tryin' to make 'em rhyme I'm n the rubber room hmm a psycho I'm in the rubber room hmm
