"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." (1)

do you play as you used to do
do you smile as you smiled
as a kid

infancy is just a state of being
a tenderness in smile
and the constant lightning

around the eyes
