Padre - Sarah Vaughan

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 the king

All day the birds would sing

Our hearts were full of spring

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 honey lies

She of the golden eyes

Now it’s my heart that cries

I kneel and pray

The hours away

And weary my heart has grown

Wondering where love has flown

Counting my tears alone

Padre, padre

Pray for my love and me
