Padre

Padre - Dennis Marsh

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 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 it's my her that cries

So I new cry

The hours away

And weary my heart has grown

Wondering where love has flown

Counting my beads alone

Padre padre

What happened to our love so true

Padre padre in my grief I turn to you

Padre padre what happened to our love my bird

Padre padre

In my grief to you I turn
