It is the evening of the da-ay
I sit and watch the children pla-ay
Smiling faces I can see
but not for me
I sit and watch as tears go by
My riches can't buy everythi-ing
I want to hear the children si-ing
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 da-ay
I sit and watch the children pla-ay
doing things I used to do
they think are new
I sit and watch as tears go by
