C         D        G
No I would not give you false hope
        C           D        G
on this strange and mournful day
        C          D       G  Emi
but the mother and child reunion
   Ami    G      D
is only a moment away.

              Emi
o.o.oh little darling of mine
                D
I can't for the life of me
           Emi
remember a sadder day
                D
I know they say let it be
                  Emi
but it just don't work out that way
                    C
And the course of a lifetime runs
         D
over and over again

But I would not give you false hope, No!
on this strange and mournful day
but the mother and child reunion
is only a motion away

o.o.oh little darling of mine
I just can't believe its so
and though it seems strange to say
I've 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!
on this strange and mournful day
but the mother and child reunion
is only a motion away...away...away
