Toni Arden - Padre lyrics

rate me

The day that we wed<br />

You blessed us and said<br />

May heaven bestow you grace<br />

There in that holy place<br />

We shared our first embrace<br />

<br />

Our cottage was small<br />

But richer than all<br />

The palaces of a king<br />

All day, the birds would sing<br />

Our hearts were full of spring<br />

<br />

Padre, padre, what happened<br />

To our love so true<br />

Padre, padre, in my grief<br />

I turn to you<br />

<br />

Then she came along<br />

And sang him her song<br />

And won him with honeyed lies<br />

She of the golden eyes<br />

Now it's my heart that cries<br />

<br />

So I kneel and pray<br />

The hours away<br />

And weary my heart has grown<br />

Wondering where love has flown<br />

Counting my beads alone<br />

<br />

Padre, padre, please tell me<br />

How such things can be<br />

Padre, padre, pray for<br />

My love and me
