Oh the mother and child reunion is only a motion away
Oh the mother and child reunion is only a motion away, yeah yeah yeah

No I would not give you false hopes
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 don't work out that way
And the course of a lifetime runs
Over and over again

No I would not give you false hopes (no)
On this strange and mournful day
But the mother and child reunion is only a motion away

No I would not give you false hopes
On this strange and mournful day
But the mother and child reunion is only a motion away, yeah

Mmm mmm mmm
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-ooh
Oh little darling of mine
I just can't believe it's so
And it seems so strange to say
But I've never been laid so low In such a mysterious way
And the course of a lifetime runs
Over and over again

No I would not give you false hopes (no)
On this strange and mournful day
But the mother and child reunion is only a motion away

Oh the mother and child reunion is only a motion away
Oh the mother and child reunion is only a moment away, yeah yeah yeah
Oh the mother and child reunion is only a motion away
Oh the mother and child reunion is only a moment away, yeah yeah yeah
Oh the mother and child reunion is only a motion away
Yes the mother and child reunion is only a moment away
