It is the evening  of  the day  
G           A                 C   D           
I sit and watch the children play 
C             D       G  D/F#        Em 
smiling faces I can see  but not for me  
C                     D        
I sit and watch as tears go by

My riches can't buy everything

I want to hear the children sing 
C          D          G  
All I hear is the sound 
Em   
of rain falling on the ground

I sit and watch as tears go by 
    C             A            C D 
It is the evening of the day

I sit and watch the childrem play  
C            D      
Doing things I used to do 
G            Em
