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 a lifetime runs over and over again
But I would not give you false hope, no, 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,
And 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 you false hope (no) on this strange and mournful day
When the mother and child reunion is only a motion away
Oh, oh the mother and child reunion is only a motion away
Oh the mother and child reunion is only a moment away
