Intro:
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
Bridge:
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
Ending:

My riches can't buy everything

All I hear is the sound

Of rain falling on the ground

I sit and watch as tears go by

Doin' things I used to do

They think are new

I sit and watch as tears go by
