Padre

(words & music by larue – webster – romans)
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 the king All day the birds would sing
Our hearts were filled with spring
Padre, padre
What happened to our loves so cruel
Padre, oh padre In my grief I turn to you
Then he came along
And sang her his song
And won her with honey lies
He of the fiery eyes
Now its not her that cries
So I will pray The hours away
And weary my heart has grown
Wondering where love has flown
Counting my beads alone
Padre, oh padre Please tell me how such things can be
Padre, oh padre Pray for my love and me
