G A C D7
G A C D7
It is the evening of the da-ay
G A C D7
I sit and watch the children pla-ay
C D7
Smiling faces I can see
G Em
but not for me
C D7
I sit and watch as tears go by
G A C D7
My richness can’t buy everythi-ing
G A C D7
I want to hear to children si-ing
C D7
all I here is the sound
G Em
of rain falling on the ground
C D7
I sit and watch as tears go by
G A C D7
It is the evening of the da-ay
G A C D7
I sit and watch the children pla-ay
C D7
doing things I used to do
G Em
thinking of you
C D7
I sit and watch as tears go by
