Jean Shepard - If Teardrops Were Silver Lyrics

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
