As Tears Go By - Esther Phillips

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

Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm …
