The Bates - As tears go by

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
