nancy sinatra – as tears go by lyrics

it is the evening of the day
i sit and watch the children play
smiling faces i can see, oh 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

it is the evening of the day
i sit and watch the children play
doing things i used to do, oh but where are you
i sit and watch as tears go by
