A Penney for Your Thoughts

(Liz Anderson)



While walking by your side along the way

I spied a tiny cup of penny on the ground

Because your thoughts that day seemed, oh, so far away

I handed you the penny I had found.



A penny for your thoughts, a penny for your thoughts

I ask you not expecting the answer that I got

You told of someone else and how you cared a lot

Look at all the heartache one tiny penny bought.



--- Instrumental ---



My penny's worth of tears will last a million years

And be forever in this heart of mine

I'll be so well supplied with dreams I know have died

My penny's worth sure last a long, long time.



A penny for your thoughts, a penny for your thoughts

I ask you not expecting the answer that I got

You told of someone else and how you cared a lot

Look at all the heartache one tiny penny bought...
