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



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
