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
a sadder day, I know they say to let it be
But it just don't work out that way
In 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 never been laid so low
In such a mysterious way
In the course of a lifetime runs over and over again

(repeat chorus)

But the mother and child reunion
Is only a motion away
But the mother and child reunion
Is only a moment away
(twice)

Only a moment away

Yeay Oh yeah
