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
