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,
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 the children play,
smiling faces I can see
but not for me,
I sit and watch as tears go by,
