Penny for Your Thoughts Lyrics

While walking by your side along the way I spied
A tiny copper penny on the ground
Because your thoughts that day seemed oh so far away
I handed you the penny I had found
A penny for your thoughts, a penny for your thoughts
I asked you not expecting the answer that I got
You told of someone else and how you cared a lot
Look at all the heartache one tiny penny bought
[ steel ]
My penny's worth of tears will last a million years
And burn forever in this heart of mine
I'll be so well supplied with dreams I know have died
My penny's worth should last a long long time
A penny for your thoughts...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
