As Tears Go By - Live

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 everything,
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.
Doing things I used to do
They think are new,
I sit and watch as tears go by.

Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm ...

As Tears Go By - En direct

C'est le soir,
Je suis assise à regarder les enfants jouer.
Je vois des visages souriants
Mais pas pour moi,
Je suis assise et je regarde les larmes couler.

Ma richesse ne peut pas tout acheter,
Je veux entendre les enfants chanter.
Tout ce que j'entends est le son
De la pluie qui tombe sur le sol,
Je suis assise et je regarde les larmes couler.

C'est le soir,
Je suis assise à regarder les enfants jouer.
Faire des choses que je faisais autrefois
Qu'ils pensent être nouvelles,
Je suis assise et je regarde les larmes couler.

Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm ...
