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 byMy riches can’t buy everything
I want to hear the children sing
All I hear is the sound

Doing things I used to do
They think are new
I sit and watch
As tears go by mmmm……
is to as is to …
