Toni Arden - Padre Lyrics

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
Wondering 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
