Padre Lyrics

Recorded by Marty Robbins
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 but richer than all
the palaces of a king.
Each night the birds would sing. Our hearts were full of spring.
Chorus:
Pa dre, pa dre
What happened to the love we knew?
Pa dre, pa dre
In my grief I turn to you
Then he came along and sang her a song
And won her with sugared lies
He of the fiery eyes. Now its my heart that cries.
So I kneel and pray the hours away
And weary my heart has grown; wondering where love has flown
Counting my beads alone.
Repeat chorus.
