IF I HAD A PENNY
C Soresi

as rec by Rosemary Clooney w Percy Faith & his Orch  
Sep 10th 1952

also rec by Alma Cogan  '53


If I had a penny every time I cried for you,
I'd be a millionaire who's every dream falls through!
If I had a penny every time my teardrops start,
I'd buy the world, but then who'd mend my broken heart?

The nights I spend alone yearning,
Wondering where you are;
The tears upon my cheeks burning,
'Cause the sun won't shine
Till I know you're mine!

Take my every penny for the times I've cried for you;
What good does money do without the love of you!

Take my every penny for the times I've cried for you;
What good does money do without the love of you!
