It is the evening of the da-a-ay
I sit and watch the children pla-a-ay
Smiling faces I can see
But not for me
I sit and watch
As tears go by -a -a -a -a
My riches can't buy everythi-i-i-ing
I want to hear the children si-i-i-ing
All I hear is the sound
O rain falling on the ground
I sit and watch
As tears go by -a -a -a -a
It is the evening of the da-a-ay
I sit and watch the children pla-a-ay
Doin' things I used to do
They think are new
I sit and watch
As tears go by -a -a -a -a
