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 ever hear is the sound of rain falling on the ground

I sit and watch as tears go by

My riches can't buy everything

I want to hear the children sing

Doin' things I used to do,

they think are new

I sit and watch as tears go by

Do do do do do do do...
