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 blueIf heartaches were rubies
Stacked up just like stones
There would be a mountain
Ten miles high, built by mine aloneIf heartaches were rubies, mine alone
You might begin to understand
The price love has to pay, for being wrongIf sad thoughts were emeralds
And with not countin', in between
Just half the ones I've had today
Could turn the whole world greenIf sad thoughts were emeralds
And the world turned green
You might just, get the message that
There's more to loneliness, than can be seenIf teardrops were diamonds
And only mine were used
