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 hear is the sound 
of the rain falling 
on the ground 

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
