Padre Lyrics by Marty Robbins
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
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, though richer than all
All day, the birds would sing
Our hearts were full of Spring
The palaces of a King

What happened to the love so true
Padre, Padre
Padre, Padre

In my grief, I turn to you
Then, he came along and sang her his song
He, with the firey eyes
So, I kneel and pray the hours away
And won her with sugered lies
Wond'ring where love has flown
Now, it's my heart that cries
And lonely, my heart has grown

Counting my tears alone
What happened to the love that burned
Padre, Padre
Padre, Padre
In my grief, I turn to you
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, though richer than all   All day, the birds would sing   Our hearts were full of Spring   The palaces of a King      What happened to the love so true   Padre, Padre   Padre, Padre      In my grief, I turn to you   Then, he came along and sang her his song   He, with the firey eyes   So, I kneel and pray the hours away   And won her with sugered lies   Wond'ring where love has flown   Now, it's my heart that cries   And lonely, my heart has grown      Counting my tears alone   What happened to the love that burned   Padre, Padre   Padre, Padre   In my grief, I turn to you
