In my grief I turn to you
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 a king
All day the birds would sing
Our hearts were full of Spring
Padre, padre, what happened to our love so true?
Padre, padre, in my grief I turn to you
Then she came along and sang him her song
And won him with honeyed lies
She of the golden eyes
Now it's my heart that cries
So I kneel and pray the hours away
And weary my heart has grown
Wond'ring where love has flown
Counting my tears alone
Padre, padre, what happened to our love so true?
Padre, padre, Pray for my love and me
