It is the evening of the day,
C5             D5              F5   G5
I sit and watch the children play.
F5             G5          C5           A5  F5         F5                G5  G5
Smiling faces I can see, but not for me, I sit and watch as tears go by.
C5               D5        F5    G5
My riches can't buy everything,
C5              D5            F5   G5
I want to hear the children sing.
F5          G5            C5              A5
All I hear is the sound of rain falling on the ground,
F5         F5                 G5  G5
I sit and watch as tears go by.
