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 ev'rything
I want to hear the children sing
All I hear is the sound of rain falling on ground
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
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
