As Tears Go By - Original - P.P. Arnold

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

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

Smiling faces I can see

But not for me

I sit and watch

As tears go by

I sit and watch

As tears go by

I sit and watch

I sit and watch

Those tears go by
