It is the evening of the day I sit and watch the children play Smiling faces I can see, oh 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 But 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, oh but where are you I sit and watch as tears go by
