It is the evening of the day I sit and watch the children play Smiling faces I can see, but not for me When 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 When 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 When 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, they think are new When I sit and watch as tears go by
