Jan Howard Lyrics
"Padre"

(Alan Romans - Paul F. Webster)

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 yo 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...
