A penny for your thoughts A dime for your dreams Would a shiny new quarter Buy a peek at your schemes And when you are away So far from my side I will cherish my penny's worth () 'Til at last I'm your bride A penny for your thoughts Let's call it a deal I don't have any secrets You know how I feel And when I am away Your penny I'll keep As your guardian angel On watch as you sleep BRIDGE I know you'll return Dear My heart tells me true The light in my window Burns only for you SOLO A penny for your thoughts It's settled and done I'd have offered a million I'd have done it for none I reckon we're in love And married we'll be And all for a penny A bright copper penny () The penny that brought you to me
