Lyrics Marty Robbins

Marty Robbins

Padre

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

The palaces of a King

All day, the birds would sing

Our hearts were full of Spring

Padre, Padre

What happened to the love so true

Padre, Padre

In my grief, I turn to you

Then, he came along and sang her his song

And won her with sugered lies

He, with the firey eyes

Now, it's my heart that cries

So, I kneel and pray the hours away

And lonely, my heart has grown

Wond'ring where love has flown

Counting my tears alone

Padre, Padre

What happened to the love that burned

Padre, Padre

In my grief, I turn to you ...
