If I had a nickel

Rrr505  1990



If I had a nickel for every heart

that's ever been broken when love tore apart

I'd have more money than Fort Knox could hold

I could keep spending until I grew old

but I'd still have nothing no matter how I tried

I'd still be thinking of the love I left behind



If I had a nickel for every song

that's ever been written when the heartaches came along

I'd fly to Paris and travel the world

I'd buy me an island with tropical girls

but I'd still be missing the love you gave to me

now my song is written as I take my turn to sing



If I had a nickel for every time

the thought of your loving has crossed through my mind

I'd own a mansion and a Mercedes Benz

I'd buy brand new Porsches for all of my friends

but happiness is something that your money just can't buy

and I'd still have nothing without you by my side



I'd give all my nickels but love's something money can't buy
