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
Smiling faces I can see
But not for me

I sit and watch
As tears go by
I sit and watch
As tears go by

I sit and watch
I sit and watch
Those tears go by
