Mother And Child Reunion

Johnny Rivers

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  
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 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
And 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  
On this strange and mournful day  
When the mother and child reunion  
Is only a motion away

Oh oh, the mother and child reunion  
Is only a motion away  
Oh, the mother and child reunion  
Is only a moment away
