Nancy Sinatra – As Tears Go By lyrics
[Chorus]
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

[Verse]
My riches can't buy everything
I want to hear the children sing
But all I hear is the sound
Of rain falling on the ground
I sit and watch as tears go by

[Chorus]
It is the evening of the day
I sit and watch the children play
Doing things I used to do
Oh but where are you
I sit and watch as tears go by

    Neilzo here A very sad song.
    The lyrics are correct, there are just some double or hidden meanings, here. I hear this being about a man who choose "things" like wealth, over family. He says "It's the evening of the day", I hear, "It's the evening of my life."
    "I want to hear the children sing.." I hear, "I want to hear MY children sing." but he either never had any children or he's left his family.
    All I hear is the sound of rain (my tears) falling on the ground, I sit and watch as tears (years) go by. My riches can buy everything. Can't buy what I know I've missed.
