[Chorus]
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

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
But I would not give you false hope (No, no)
On this strange and mournful day (On this strange and mournful day)
When the mother and child reunion
Is only a motion away
