If Teardrops Were Diamonds

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 love has to pay, for being wrong

If sad thoughts were emeralds

And with not countin', 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
