Paul Simon — Mother and Child Reunion

[Chorus] 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 [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Outro] Oh, the mother and child reunion is only a motion away Oh, the mother and child reunion is only a moment away (Oh) Oh, the mother and child reunion is only a motion away Oh, the mother and child reunion is only a moment away (Oh) Oh, the mother and child reunion, oh, is only a motion away Oh, the mother and child reunion is only a moment away, way, way, way
