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, what happened to our love so true?
Padre, Padre, my grief I turn to you.
Padre, Padre, PADRE, PADRE, PADRE.
Then she came along and sang Him a song and won Him with honeyed eyes.
She of the golden eyes, now it's my heart that cries.
Padre, Padre, PADRE, PADRE.

I kneel and pray the hours away, and weary my heart has grown, wondering where love has flown, counting my tears alone.
Oh, pray, oh, pray, pray for my love in thee.
Oh, pray, oh, pray for my love in thee.
