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 remember 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 and 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 [repeat whole verse] only a moment away yeay, oh yeah
