A Penny For Your Thoughts

While walking by your side along the way I spied

A tiny copper penny on the ground

Because your thoughts that day seemed oh so far away

I handed you the penny I had found

A penny for your thoughts, a penny for your thoughts

I asked you not expecting the answer that I got

You told of someone else and how you cared a lot

Look at all the heartache one tiny penny bought

My penny's worth of tears will last a million years

And burn forever in this heart of mine

I'll be so well supplied with dreams I know have died

My penny's worth should last a long long time

A penny for your thoughts, a penny for your thoughts

I asked you not expecting the answer that I got

You told of someone else and how you cared a lot

Look at all the heartache one tiny penny bought
