Elizabeth Cook ： An acre of diamonds

I'd offer to you

A solid gold mansion an airplane or two

Buddy Miller ： This whole world

Would be yours to have and to hold

Teardrops were pennies and heartaches were gold

Both ： 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

Buddy Miller ： The tears that have

Fallen won't buy you a thing

The heartaches you 'caused me won't pay for a ring

Elizabeth Cook ： The love that

I wanted would not have grown cold

Both ： 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

Buddy Miller ： But teardrops aren't pennies

Elizabeth Cook ： And heartaches aren't gold
