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.

Smiling faces I can see, but not for me -

I sit and watch as tears go by.

Doing things I used to do, they think are new;

I sit and watch as tears go by.
