Lyrics:

No I would not give you false hopeOn this strange and
mournful dayBut the mother and child reu-nionIs only
a motion away, oh, little darling of mine.I can’t for the
life of meRemember a sadder dayI know they say let
it beBut it just don’t work out that wayAnd the
course of a lifetime runsOver and over againNo
I would not give you false hopeOn this strange and
mournful dayBut the mother and child reu-nionIs only
a motion away, oh, little darling of mine.I just
can’t believe it’s so,And though it seems strange to
sayI never been laid so lowIn such a mysterious
wayAnd the course of a lifetime runsOver and over
againBut I would not give you false hopeOn
this strange and mournful dayWhen the mother and child
reu-nionIs only a motion away,Oh, oh the mother and
child reunionIs only a motion awayOh the mother and
child reu-nionIs only a moment away
