As Tears Go By

It is the evening of the day
I sit and watch the children play
Smiling faces all around
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
I think of you
I sit and watch
As tears go by
