Padre Lyrics - Jan Howard

Padre Padre 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 

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 ownes the golden eyes now it's my heart that cries 

Now I kneel and pray the hours away and weary my heart has grown 

Wondering where love has flown counting my tears alone 

Padre Padre please tell me how such thing can be 

Padre Padre pray for my love and me Padre Padre pray for my love and me
