Mother and Child Reunion - Paul Simon

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 (no)

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)

On this strange and mournful day

When 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

Oh, the mother and child reunion

Is only a motion away

Oh, the mother and child reunion

Is only a moment away
