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 ev’rything
   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
