Toni Arden lyrics : "Padre"

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
Wondering where love has flown

Counting my beads alone

Padre, padre, please tell me

How such things can be
Padre, padre, pray for
My love and me
