If Teardrops Were Silver

If heartache was laughter then I'd be a clown



If loneliness was happiness I could sure spread some round



If hurting was like heaven there'd be no wings like mine



If teardrops were silver oh how I'd shine



If loving you was good for me I'd be the picture of health



And if missing you was riches I'd own the world and all its wealth



And if wanting you was wisdom I'd be the wisest and then



I'd know why I lost you and could win your love again



But hurting's not heaven it's more like someplace else



But hurting is the one thing that I do so well



Yes if heartaches were funny I could laugh all the time



And if teardrops were silver oh how I'd shine if teardrops were silver oh how I'd shine
