A PENNY FOR YOUR THOUGHTS
Written by Jenny Lou Carson
(Recorded c. 1948)


Memories are haunting you
And they're making you feel blue
Darlin' a penny for your thoughts
Are you thinking of the past
And a love that didn't last
Darling a penny for your thoughts

I'll understand because I love you
More and more each day
I want you even though I know
Your heart is far away
Now don't try to tell me lies
Those are teardrops in your eyes
Darling a penny for your thoughts

I don't mean to be unkind
Is your old love on your mind
Darling a penny for your thoughts
After all the things he's done
Is he still the only one
Darling a penny for your thoughts

It hurts me so to see the sorrow
Written on your face
I hope and pray that some tomorrow
I can take his place
But if someday we should part
You can say a broken heart
Offered a penny for your thoughts
