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
