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 ever hear is the sound
of rain falling on the ground
I sit and watch as tears go by
<Instrumental>
It is the evening of the day
I sit and watch the children play
Doin' things I used to do,
they think they are new
I sit and watch as tears go by
Mm mm mm...
