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
