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

They make me think on you

I sit and watch as tears go by.
