"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./"
