Lyrics

A Penny for Your Thoughts

[Verse 1]

Memories are haunting you and they're making you feel blue

[Chorus 1]

Darling a penny for your thoughts

[Verse 2]

Are you thinking of the past and a love that didn't last

[Chorus 1]

[Verse 3]

And it hurts me so to see the sorrow written on your face

And I hope and pray that some tomorrow I can take his place

But if someday we should part you can say a broken heart

[Chorus 1]
