Chorus:
Lord, 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 doesn't work out that way
And the course of a lifetime runs over and over again

Repeat Chorus

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

Repeat Chorus

Oh, the mother and child reunion is only a motion away
Oh, the mother and child reunion
Is only a moment away; it's always a moment away
