As Tears Go By

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Verse 3]

It is the evening of the day (It is the evening of the day)

I sit and watch the children play (I sit and watch the children play)

Doing things I used to do, they think are new

I sit and watch as tears go by

I sit and watch as tears go by

As tears go by
