No I would not give you false hope
on this strange and mournful day
but the mother and child reunion

is only a motion away,

oh,little darling of mine.

I can't for the life of me
remember a sadder day
I know they say let it be

but it just don't work out that way
and the course of the lifetime runs
over and over again.


No I would not give you false hope
On this strange and mournful day

But the mother and child reunion
Is only a motion away,






oh, little darling of mine
I just can't believe it's so
though it seems strange to say

I never been laid so low
in such a mysterious way
and the course of a lifetime runs

over and over again.



But I would not give
On this strange and mournful day
When the mother and child reunion

Is only a motion away



Oh,the mother and child reunion
is only a motion away
oh the mother and child reunion

is only a moment away.
