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
la la la la lala la ah
la la la la lala la ah
