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
Doing things I used to do
They make me think on you
I sit and watch as tears go by.
