Dwight Yoakam, Willie Nelson - If Teardrops Were Diamonds lyrics

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
