Padre, padre
|
In my grief I turn to you
|
|
The day that we wed you blessed us and said
|
"May heaven bestow you grace"
|
There in that holy place
|
We shared our first embrace
|
|
Our cottage was small but richer than all
|
The palaces of a king
|
All day the birds would sing
|
Our hearts were full of Spring
|
|
Padre, padre, what happened to our love so true?
|
Padre, padre, in my grief I turn to you
|
|
Then she came along and sang him her song
|
And won him with honeyed lies
|
She of the golden eyes
|
Now it's my heart that cries
|
|
So I kneel and pray the hours away
|
And weary my heart has grown
|
Wond'ring where love has flown
|
Counting my tears alone
|
|
Padre, padre, what happened to our love so true?
|
Padre, padre, Pray for my love and me
|
|
