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 rain falling on the ground,
I sit and watch as tears go by.

Instrumental: C D F G C D

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.

Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm…Fade
