Paul Simon - Mother And Child Reunion lyrics

Words & music by paul simon No i would not give you false hope On this strange and mournful day But the mother and child reu-nion 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 reu-nion 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 reu-nion Is only a motion away, Oh, oh the mother and child reunion Is only a motion away Oh the mother and child reu-nion Is only a moment away
