As Tears Go By - Marianne Faithful

"As tears go by" made popular by Marianne Faithful in 1965.

Lyrics:

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

Such a beautiful,innocent girl..ruined by Mick Jagger.

[74norton850]

Very classic, iconic lady and song from the 1960's.

[bluemakesgreen]

if she had not met mick jagger, would we even know who she is today?

[TheMottSlutz]

@brogsbunny How was she ruined?

[Peteyvale]

She was a beautiful lady

[nightflyer777]

Oh yeah, and one more thing, while this is a good version, the Rolling Stones version in my opinion has more feeling and soul to it. To me, when she sang it (And has a beautiful voice), she sounded a bit monotonous. /rant

[nightflyer777]

What the fuck is it with you people? Yes, this version is nice and all, but in my opinion the Rolling Stones did it better. And if anything, their cover was a tribute to this one. I know it's your opinion and all, but lighten up people. Oh yeah, and by the way, Mick Jagger didn't sing the original Rolling Stones version, someone else did. So if you idiots want to say something bad about a cover, I'd suggest actually LISTENING to it first. Still though, this one is nice. Liked.

[woundedmarine68]

Back in the 60's drugs were the rage,even thro they are still here,look who paid the price.Hendricks,Joplin, morrison,and many other great preformers. Sempi Fi. Roger

[dani9714]

@brogsbunny Yes, but luckily she survived to all that madness, she's a great example of a true survivor. I read her autobiography and I loved it♥

[KaptKan1]

She was the most beautiful woman in the world in the 60s and I, along with legions of others, had a terrific crush on her.

Then came the drugs and the assholes called the Rolling Stones.

Too bad.
