It is the evening of th e da y
I sit and watched the childre n pla y
Smiling faces I can see but not for
me
I sit and watch as tears go by
My riches can't buy eve rything
I want to hear the chil dren sing
All I hear is the sound of rain falling on the
ground
I sit and watch as tears go by
It is the evening of th e day
I sit and watched the c hildren play
Doin'things I use d to do, they think are
new
I sit and watch as tears go by
Mmm ...
