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

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

Doing things I used to do

Thinking of you

I sit and watch as tears go by
