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 that love has to pay   For being wrong      Solo      If sad thoughts were emeralds   And with not counting   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...
