P.p. Arnold As Tears Go By
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 by.
My riches can't buy everything,
I want to hear the children sing.
But all I hear is the sound,
Of rain falling on the ground.
I sit and watch,
As tears go by.
[Instrumental break.]
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 by.
I sit and watch,
As tears go by.
I sit and watch,
I sit and watch,
those tears go by.
