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 ev'rything... 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 It is the evening of the day... I sit and watch the children play... Doin' things I used to do they think are new I sit and watch as tears go by Mmmm ... Mmmm ...
