While walking by your side along the way I spite 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

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
