As Tears Go By Lyrics By Marianne Faithfull

    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
    mmhmmmmmhmmmmmhmmm
    mmhmmmmmhmmmmmhmmm
    mmhmmmmmhmmmmmhmmm
