As Tears Go By Lyrics by The Rolling Stones
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
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'rything,
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.
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'rything,  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.
