Jean Shepard if teardrops were silver

Select language to translate this lyric

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
