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. 
  
 La, la, la, la, la , la, la, la, la, la, la 
 La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la 
 La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
