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 ever 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 
Doin' things I used to do, they think they are new 
I sit and watch as tears go by 
Mm mm mm...
