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

(Smiling faces I can see, but not for me
I sit and watch as tears go by
All I hear is the sound of rain falling on the ground
I sit and watch as tears go by
All I hear is the sound of rain falling on the ground)
