It is the evening of the day
I sit and watch the children play
Smilin' faces I can see
But not for me

I sit and watch as tears go by

My richest can't buy everything
I want to hear the children sing
All I hear is the sound
Of rain fallin' 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
I'm doin' things I used to do
They think I knew

I sit and watch as teary go by

Smilin' faces I can see
But not for me

I sit and watch as tears go by
