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 ever hear is the sound of rain falling on the ground
I sit and watch as tears go by
My riches can't buy everything
I want to hear the children sing
Doin' things I used to do,
they think are new
I sit and watch as tears go by
Do do do do do do do...
