| 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 let it be
|
| 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 hope
|
| On this strange and mournful day
|
| But the mother and child reunion
|
| Is only a motion away
|
| 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
|
| But I would not give you false hope (No, no)
|
| On this strange and mournful day (On this strange and mournful day)
|
| When the mother and child reunion
|
| Is only a motion away |
