Lyrics for 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 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 are new I sit and watch as tears go by Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
