Padre

The day that we wed, you blessed us and said
 "May Heaven bestow you Grace"
 Here in this Holy place
 We shared our first embrace
 Our cottage was small, though 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 the love so true
 Padre, Padre
 In my grief, I turn to you
 Then, he came along and sang her his song
 And won her with sugered lies
 He, with the firey eyes
 Now, it's my heart that cries
 So, I kneel and pray the hours away
 And lonely, my heart has grown
 Wond'ring where love has flown
 Counting my tears alone
 Padre, Padre
 What happened to the love that burned
 Padre, Padre
 In my grief, I turn to you ...
