A Penny For Your Thoughts

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

I know you'll return Dear
My heart tells me true
The light in my window
Burns only for you

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
