Padre

Jan Howard · Sweet and Sentimental [Capitol] [1962]

(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...
