G         Am             C    D  
It is the evening of the day

G          Am                C     D
I sit and watch the children play

C             D         G           Em
smiling faces I can see but not for me

C                           D
I sit and watch as tears go by


My richness 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 of you
I sit and watch as tears go by
