It is the evening of the day
I sit and watch the children play
Smiling faces I can see

But not for me
I sit and watch
As tears go by


My riches can't buy everything
I want to hear the children sing

All I hear is the sound
Of rain falling on the ground



I sit and watch
As tears go by


It is the evening of the day
I sit and watch the children play

Doin' things I used to do
They think are new
I sit and watch

As tears go by
