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
It just don't
work out that way
And the course
of a 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-oh little darling
of mine
I just can't believe
it's so...
Though it seems
strange to say
I've 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 you false hope
on this strange
and mournful day
But the mother
and child reunion
is only a motion away
Oh the mother
and child reunion
is only a motion away
But 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 motion away
