Peter Asher - Mother And Child Reunion lyrics

Chorus: Lord, 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 doesn't work out that way And the course of a lifetime runs over and over again Repeat Chorus Oh, little darling of mine, I just can't believe it's so 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 Repeat Chorus Oh, the mother and child reunion is only a motion away Oh, the mother and child reunion Is only a moment away; it's always a moment away
