No, I would not give you false hope
On this strange and mournful day
But the mother and child reunion
Is only a motion awayOh, oh, little darling of mine
I can't for the life of me
Remember a sadder day
I know they say to let it beIt just don't work out that way
And the course of a lifetime runs
Over and over againBut I would not give you false hope
On this strange and mournful day
But the mother and child reunion
Is only a motion awayOh, oh, little darling of mine
I just can't believe it's so
Though it seems strange to say
I never been laid so lowIn such a mysterious way
And the course of a lifetime runs
Over and over againBut I would not give you false hope
On this strange and mournful day
But the mother and child reunion
Is only a motion awayBut the mother and child reunion
Is only a motion away
But the mother and child reunion
Is only a moment awayBut the mother and child reunion
Is only a motion away
But the mother and child reunion
Is only a moment away
Only a moment awayYeah! Oh yeah!
