  • 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

    Mm-hmm-hmm-hmm-mm-hmm-hmm
    Mm-hmm-hmm-hmm-mm-hmm-hmm
    Mm-hmm-hmm-hmm-mm-hmm Writer/s: Andrew Loog Oldham, Keith Richards, Mick Jagger
