Mother and Child Reunion Songtext
von Paul Simon with Jimmy Cliff

No, I would not give you false hope
On this strange and mournful day
When the mother and child reunion
Is only a motion away

Oh, little darling of mine
I can′t force the life of me
Remember a sadder day
I know they say, "Let it be"
But it just don't work out that way
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 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
In such a mysterious way
Never been laid so low
For 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 reunion
Is only a motion away

Oh, the mother and child reunion
Is only a motion away
The mother and child reunion
Is only a moment away

Oh, the mother and child reunion
...s only a motion away
The mother and child reunion
...s only a moment away

Oh, the darling of mine
