G          A               C D7
 It is the evening of the day
G           A                   C  D7
 I sit and watch the children play
C              D7
 Smiling faces I can see
G            Em
 But not for me
C                            D D7
 I sit and watch as tears go by

My richness can't buy everything
I want to hear to children sing
All I here 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
Thinking of you
I sit and watch as tears go by
