Rolling Stones Hot Rocks As Tears Go By - Jagger, Richard, Oldham 1964 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 ev'rythng, 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. Doin' things I used to do they think are new. I sit and watch as tears go by.
