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.
But 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 the day,
I want to see the children play.
Doin' things I used to do,
They think are new.
I sit and watch,
as tears go by.
uhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuh...
Smiling faces I can see,
but not for me.
I sit and watch,
as tears go by.
