[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
In the course of a lifetime runs over and over again

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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
In 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
[Outro]
But the mother and child reunion
Is only a motion away
But the mother and child reunion
Is only a moment away
