As Tears Go By

The Bates

As tears go by 

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

Smilin' faces 
I can see 
But not for me 

I sit and watch as tears go by 

My richest can't bye everything (?) 
I want to hear the children sing 
All I hear is the sound 
Of rain fallin' on the ground 

I sit and watch as tears go by 

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

I'm doin' things 
I used to do 
They think 
I knew 

I sit and watch as teary go by 

Smilin' faces 
I can see 
But not for me 

I sit and watch as tears go by
