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, 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, i sit and watch, as tears go by, as tears go by
