#1:
The day that we wed, you blessed us and said
"May Heaven bestow you Grace"
There in the Holy place
We shared our first embrace
#2:
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
Chorus:
Padre, Padre
D7 G D7?
What happened to our love so true
Padre, Padre
In my grief I turn to you
#3:
Then, he came along and sang her his song
And won her with honey lies
He, of the fiery eyes
Now, it's my heart that cries
#4:
So, I kneel and pray the hours away
And weary, my heart has grown
Wond'ring where love has flown
Counting my beads alone
Chorus:
Padre, oh Padre
Please tell me how such things can be
Padre, oh Padre
Pray for my love and me
