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

Doing 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

I sit and watch as tears go by

As tears go by

I sit and watch as tears go by

I sit and watch

I sit and watch as tears go by

As tears go by

As tears go by

As tears go by

As tears go by

I sit and watch

I sit and watch as tears go by

As tears go by
