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
