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

Doing things I used to do
They think are new
I sit and watch
As tears go by

It is the evening of the day
I sit and watch as 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 ...
