I sit and watch the children play

  Smiling faces I can see

  But not for me
  C                           D7
  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

G  A  C  D  x 2  w/ cordes

It is the evening of the day
I sit and watch the children play

  Doing things I used to do
  They think on you
  I sit and watch as tears go by
