Marty Robbins - Padre lyrics

rate me

The day that we wed, you blessed us and said<br />

"May Heaven bestow you Grace"<br />

Here in this Holy place<br />

We shared our first embrace<br />

Our cottage was small, though 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<br />

What happened to the love so true<br />

Padre, Padre<br />

In my grief, I turn to you<br />

<br />

Then, he came along and sang her his song<br />

And won her with sugered lies<br />

He, with the firey eyes<br />

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

So, I kneel and pray the hours away<br />

And lonely, my heart has grown<br />

Wond'ring where love has flown<br />

Counting my tears alone<br />

<br />

Padre, Padre<br />

What happened to the love that burned<br />

Padre, Padre<br />

In my grief, I turn to you...
